    Hi @mon33x –

    If you haven’t already, I’d recommend reading through https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development to get a good overview on how your theme should be structured and exactly how WordPress themes work.

    Hope that helps!

    +1 for Brett’s Theme Handbook suggestion.

    Every theme requires a fair chunk of boilerplate just to get started before you do anything that distinguishes your theme from all the others. Many theme devs start with the boilerplate generated by the underscores starter theme. It salts in your chosen theme name through out the generated code set so it truly becomes your theme. The initial result will not look like much if activated. It’s your job to turn it into something awesome 🙂

    Start with this. It will be unstyled but will contain all the WP elements needed.

    And you’ll want to brush up on your CSS to really make the site purr. Anyone who doesn’t believe in the power of pure CSS has not visited http://csszengarden.com.

    One HTML template, each made unique through CSS alone. I go there for inspiration.
