Underscores is a starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a minimal, well-structured codebase that serves as a blank canvas, eliminating the need to strip away unwanted features from a bloated parent theme.

• Lean, commented templates: The theme provides modern HTML5 templates with just the essential structure, allowing you to focus on your design and functionality without unnecessary code.
• Custom template tags and functions: A set of organized template tags and helper functions keeps your template files clean, prevents code duplication, and improves the overall theming experience.
• Responsive navigation: Includes a JavaScript file for a toggleable mobile menu, providing a solid starting point for responsive design without imposing specific styles.
• Sample layouts and CSS: Offers starter CSS and sample layout files (like sidebars) to help you quickly establish a basic structure and begin styling your project.
• GPL licensing: The code is licensed under the GPLv2 or later, giving you the freedom to use, modify, and distribute your creations based on it.
