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.
