Temperance Starter Theme

Temperance is a WordPress starter theme.  The name comes from the virtue – which is the value of moderation. The purpose of this starter theme is to provide a foundation, without limiting you.

A WordPress starter theme is designed to provide you with a head start, while allowing you to change every file as needed to meet your project’s needs.  It’s built using PHP, HTML5, CSS, and Sass. Temperance provides a solid, semantic foundation, for you to build upon. This is different from a parent theme, where you are discouraged from changing the parent theme files.

Features

Temperance provides you with a library of additional functionality, specifically for WordPress. Some of these features include:

  • Accessible read more links,
  • Easy access to menus,
  • Pagination links,
