Base Theme for Starting Development

  • During the brief period when I was playing around with Drupal, I found a theme called Zen that was supposed to be a simple, well documented base theme to be used as a starting block for designing a new theme. Is there anything like that with WordPress that I should be working with?

    Thanks!

    Is it best just to use the default theme?

    no. its not. But the answer to your question is still very subjective as one person’s trash is another’s gold.

    Its best to start with a theme that most closely resembles what you want.

    I feel that this by Elliot Stocks is a must have. It is a completely “naked” theme, complete with a css reset, nice file structure, and some extra helpful css components.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks! I found a theme called Whiteboard and have been working with it. So far so good, but the search form does not seem to be standards compliant…

    I realize this is an old post but in the interest of helping future peoples I like using K2 as a base theme to build from: https://getk2.com/
