But the point of this theme is that it doesn't have any of that. When I start a new site, I spend too much time erasing then redoing all of the extra style. I don't want to have to undo things just to get to a starting point. I guess this is where the difference between my approach and child themes comes in. Because I do 100% custom sites, it is more work for me if I start with a theme that has some kind of layout and typography already. This is not for anyone who wants a theme that is ready out if the box. This meant as the starting point for a custom theme. Hi Raymond,

Just my opinion. Thanks. I would suggest that you work on the layout by using some sort of a grid to align stuff and improve the typography. Just my opinion. Thanks.
