Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, standards-compliant foundation, removing opinionated design choices so you can focus on implementing unique layouts and features.

• Lean, Modern Codebase: Offers a just-right amount of well-commented, modern HTML5 templates and starter CSS. This organized structure helps you start your design quickly without wrestling with bloated code.
• Development-Focused Features: Includes custom template tags to keep code clean and prevent duplication, along with helpful template functions to improve the theming experience. An optional sample custom header implementation is provided for reference.
• Responsive & Accessible Foundation: Comes with a script that converts the menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, providing a ready-made responsive behavior for CSS styling. It also includes a helpful 404 template.
• Layout Flexibility: Provides two sample CSS layouts in a dedicated directory for creating sidebars on either side of your main content, giving a starting point for common design structures.
• Open Source License: Licensed under GPLv2 or later, allowing you to freely use, modify, and distribute your creations based on this starter code.
