Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes for websites. It provides a clean, well-documented foundation meant to be modified and extended, avoiding the bulk of full-featured themes.

Key features include:

• Lean HTML5 templates: Modern, well-commented templates that provide a just-right starting point without unnecessary markup.
• Organized starter CSS: Smartly structured CSS in style.css helps you begin implementing your design quickly.
• Custom template tags: Functions in inc/template-tags.php keep template files clean and prevent code duplication.
• Responsive navigation: A script at js/navigation.js creates a toggled dropdown menu for small screens, ready for styling.
• Sample layouts: Includes two sample CSS layouts in the layouts/ directory for sidebars on either side of the content.
