I’ve written before about two of the great starter themes — _s (underscores.me) and _tk (themekraft.com). Each wants you to modify the theme to your heart’s content, even to the point of advising you not to use it as the parent for a child theme. _s makes this particularly easy.

Earlier this year I wrote about the Underscores theme for getting started with rolling your own WordPress theme.

Just because you’re not a ninja WordPress developer doesn’t mean that you’ll never have the need to make your WordPress blog look a certain way … a way that no existing theme duplicates.
