The Beginning theme has to be considered as a blank canvas. This theme is for designer artist. Designers can begin theme designing, web designing without worrying about theme structure, layout and responsiveness as per device width. This theme is for those design artists who want to simply focus on graphic elements, colours, and styling. Very easy to customize without learning any new stuff. Designer don't even need to be understand @media query and various breakpoints for RESPONSIVE, MOBILE design.
