Styling Strategy

Styling is architecture: naming, tokens, and boundaries affect long-term speed and consistency.

Style approaches

  • Global styles for shared primitives.
  • Scoped modules for component-specific styles.
  • Design tokens for consistent spacing, colors, and type.

Naming conventions

Use explicit class naming patterns that communicate role and context to reduce ambiguity.

Responsive rules

Design mobile-first and verify key breakpoints during feature development, not at release time.

Accessibility and styling

Preserve focus visibility, color contrast, and reduced-motion support in every interactive component.

Practice

Refactor a page to use design tokens, responsive layout rules, and accessible focus treatments.
