Underscores is a starter theme for developers building custom WordPress themes. It is not a parent theme but a blank canvas meant to be forked and transformed. The theme comes with a minimalist CSS foundation and a set of modular, well-documented templates to accelerate development.

• Lean, well-commented HTML5 templates: A just-right amount of modern, semantic markup that keeps your code clean and understandable.
• Helpful 404 template: A ready-to-use page for handling missing content, saving you setup time.
• Optional custom header implementation: Sample code in inc/custom-header.php to add flexible header images.
• Custom template tags: Functions in inc/template-tags.php prevent code duplication and keep templates tidy.
• Small theming tweaks: inc/template-functions.php includes useful adjustments to improve your development workflow.
• Responsive navigation script: js/navigation.js turns menus into toggled dropdowns on small screens, ready for CSS styling.
• Two sample CSS layouts: Sidebar-on-left and sidebar-on-right layouts in the layouts/ folder to jumpstart design.
• Organized starter CSS: style.css is structured to help you quickly build your own design without starting from zero.
