Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, well-structured foundation, removing unnecessary design elements so you can focus on implementing your own vision.

• Lean, Commented Code: The theme offers modern, HTML5 templates and starter CSS that are thoroughly commented. This makes the codebase easy to understand and modify, serving as a practical learning resource.
• Essential Templates & Functions: It includes a helpful 404 template, custom template tags to prevent code duplication, and template functions to improve the theming workflow. This provides the necessary structure without imposing a specific design.
• Mobile-Ready Navigation: A built-in JavaScript file handles navigation, transforming menus into toggled dropdowns on small screens. This gives you a responsive starting point ready for your custom CSS.
• Flexible Layout Options: The theme provides two sample CSS layouts in a dedicated folder, demonstrating how to implement sidebars on either side of the main content area for layout experimentation.
• Open Source License: Released under the GPLv2+, it allows you to freely use, modify, and distribute your derived themes, making it a versatile base for both personal and commercial projects.
