RDMFramework is a starter theme for developers building custom websites. It is built upon the popular _s (Underscores) framework and is tailored for projects that require a structured, modern development workflow with support for child themes.

• Modern Development Workflow: Includes a Gulp task runner for automating development tasks like compiling SCSS, minifying files, and live reloading, speeding up the build process.
• Pre-configured Dependencies: Comes with Bower support for managing front-end libraries and npm for Node.js packages, setting up a standard project structure quickly.
• Extended Feature Set: Integrates several common development needs out of the box, such as support for Advanced Custom Fields, a custom plugin for Custom Post Types, and custom social media widgets.
• Child Theme Ready: Although the original _s framework is not intended for parent/child use, this theme has been modified specifically to support this architecture, allowing for safer customizations and updates.
• Admin Customizations: Includes an rdm.php file for modifying the site dashboard and a theme options panel, providing control over the backend experience for clients or specific project needs.
