This starter theme is designed for developers who want to create a custom website theme from the ground up, without the constraints of a pre-built parent theme or framework. It provides a clean, standards-compliant foundation to build upon, using modern HTML5 semantics and minimal default styling.

Semantic HTML5 Markup: The theme uses modern, semantic HTML5 elements out of the box, providing a solid and forward-compatible structural base for your project. Minimal, Unobtrusive CSS: The included stylesheet is intentionally sparse and fluid, using em-based units. This ensures the default presentation doesn't interfere with your own design decisions. Free for Any Use: The code is licensed for both private commercial projects and publicly released themes, offering maximum flexibility. Clean, Hackable Code: The PHP and template files follow established coding standards and are written to be easily understood, copied, and adapted into your own work. Focus on Foundation: By omitting complex features and design flourishes, the theme prioritizes being a reliable toolkit of essential templates and functions to accelerate initial development.
