Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes. It provides a lean foundation of code, allowing you to create a unique design without the overhead of a pre-built framework.

Lean, commented templates: The theme offers HTML5 templates with clear comments, making the code easy to understand and modify. Custom template tags: A set of functions in a separate file helps keep your template files clean and avoids repeating code. Mobile-ready navigation: Includes a JavaScript script that converts menus into toggleable dropdowns on small screens, providing a base for responsive design. Organized starter CSS: The main style sheet is structured to help you start implementing your design quickly. Sample layouts: Provides two example CSS layouts for placing a sidebar on either side of your main content area.
