Excellent responsiveness. Well designed, very lightweight. Modern and well functionng, even after years of no updates.
Perfect for beauty combined with minimalism.

I built a child theme based on this one as I walked through the Lynda course.
But does this theme ever get updated?
The reason I ask is because the default WordPress themes are sometimes updated, so I assume that theme updates are necessary. (Are they?)
In the year or so that I’ve used this theme, it has never asked me to update.
…I wonder if I should’ve used one of the default WordPress themes instead, because they’re updating all the time…?
(As you can tell, I’m not so technically inclined.)
Am I worrying over nothing?

I tried several dozen of the most popular themes and most usable themes and this met my requirements more than any other for viewing on a desktop.

The theme’s author (@mor10) has long been tutoring on WordPress through his blog, in person, and via the Lynda.com WordPress courses he publishes.
This theme, based upon ‘underscores’ is clean and elegant — without kludge or unnecessary weight. I’m delighted to have used it as the ‘parent’ theme for many of my projects.
Because @mor10 is so scrupulous, I know that it will be updated when necessary. I have high confidence. It’s beautiful on various devices and very adaptable. Thanks!

This theme and tutorial on Lynda.com helps me a lot. Thanks to WordPress.
Many many thanks to Sir Morten Rand-Hendriksen.

That was a pleasure to complete de Lynda.com course along with the development of this theme from scratch.
Unfortunately during the process on my 23 inch monitor, i faced huge layout problems that made the site very ugly at the end.
But code, design and overall implementation are fine.
Using as base for my next theme, Empreza. Thanks for the learning.

This is my favourite free theme for WordPress to date. I would have awarded 5 stars except that customising is not so easy if you do not want to do the Lynda course. Many of the resolved issues are closed without showing what the fix was, which is not very helpful to someone with some skills but by no means an expert.
The main things I want to fix are layouts as on widescreen the site looks all over the place. I think if you are going to centre content then centre ALL content and not just certain elements so that the site retains cohesion.
That said, thank you!

The design, the contrast and the code.
This theme is based on underscores so you know it uses a lot of best practices under the hood.
What really caught my attention was the fact that it is accessibility-ready. One thing that many theme authors should be keeping in mind down the road.
Thank you for the theme!

Hey Morten, I used your theme as a basis for a site with primarily blind users. They’ve given really great feedback on the accessibility of the theme. Thank you for your efforts in urging the community to prioritize users who access the web in a variety of methods.

Simone is lightweight, responsive, accessibility ready, translation ready and built using many of the latest and best design and development practices. Morten, the theme author is an instructor at lynda.com, and has an excellent course entitled “Building Themes from Scratch Using Underscores” during which he covers in detail each step of the development process necessary for building this theme. He is very knowledgable, and it shows in this excellent theme.
