Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom website themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, standards-compliant codebase that serves as a blank canvas, allowing developers to implement their own design and functionality without having to strip away unwanted features.

• Lean, Modern Codebase: Offers a just-right amount of well-commented, modern HTML5 templates and starter CSS. This organized foundation helps you start coding your design immediately without unnecessary bloat.
• Development Utilities: Includes custom template tags and functions that keep your template files clean and prevent code duplication. It also comes with an optional sample custom header implementation for reference.
• Responsive Navigation: Provides a JavaScript file that converts the main menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, offering a ready-made responsive behavior for further styling.
• Layout Flexibility: Features two sample CSS layouts in the /layouts/ directory for creating sidebars on either side of your main content, giving you a structural starting point.
• Boilerplate Options: Allows you to generate a theme with specific boilerplate code included, such as Sass structure and e-commerce compatibility, tailoring the initial setup to your project needs.
