Underscores is a minimal, well-commented starter theme for developers who build custom themes for the popular CMS. It provides a clean, foundational codebase meant to be modified and extended, not used as-is.

• Lean, modern templates: Provides a just-right amount of HTML5 templates with clear comments, serving as a solid foundation without unnecessary bloat.
• Organized starter code: Includes smartly organized starter CSS and separate files for custom template tags and functions, promoting clean code and reducing duplication.
• Development-ready features: Comes with practical elements like a helpful 404 template, sample CSS layouts, and a navigation script for mobile-ready menus.
• Hackable design: The ultra-minimal default styling is intentionally bare, putting design decisions entirely in the developer's hands without preset styles to override.
