Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, well-commented codebase intended as a foundation to be modified, not used as-is.

• Lean HTML5 templates: Provides a just-right amount of modern, commented template files to build upon without unnecessary bloat.
• Organized starter CSS: Smartly structured style.css offers a solid starting point for your own designs, reducing initial setup time.
• Custom template tags: Includes functions in inc/template-tags.php to keep template files clean and avoid code duplication.
• Responsive navigation: Comes with a JavaScript file (js/navigation.js) that converts menus into toggleable dropdowns on small screens.
• Sample layouts: Includes two basic CSS layouts in a layouts/ folder for positioning a sidebar on either side of your content.
