Class Organization

Organize classes by function for better readability:
<!-- Typography -->
<h1 class="text-4xl font-700 text-center mb-6">Title</h1>

<!-- Layout -->
<div class="flex items-center justify-between p-6 bg-white">
  <!-- Spacing -->
  <div class="p-4 mb-6 mt-4"></div>
</div>

Use Consistent Patterns

Establish consistent patterns across your design:
<!-- Card pattern -->
<div class="card p-6 rounded-lg bg-white border border-gray-light">
  <h3 class="text-xl font-600 mb-4">Title</h3>
  <p class="text-gray mb-4">Content</p>
  <button class="btn btn-blue">Action</button>
</div>

Performance Optimization

Minimize Class Usage

Use only the classes you need:
<!-- Good: Minimal classes -->
<div class="flex items-center gap-4">
  <!-- Avoid: Unnecessary classes -->
  <div class="flex items-center gap-4 p-0 m-0 bg-transparent"></div>
</div>

Leverage Component Classes

Use pre-built components when possible:
<!-- Use component classes -->
<button class="btn btn-blue">Button</button>

<!-- Instead of building from scratch -->
<button class="inline-block px-6 py-3 bg-blue text-white rounded">
  Button
</button>

Responsive Design

Mobile-First Approach

Design for mobile first, then enhance for larger screens:
<div class="flex flex-col md:flex-row gap-4">
  <div class="w-full md:w-1-2">Content</div>
  <div class="w-full md:w-1-2">Content</div>
</div>

Consistent Breakpoints

Use consistent responsive patterns:
<div class="w-full md:w-1-2 lg:w-1-3 xl:w-1-4">
  <div class="card p-4 md:p-6">Responsive Card</div>
</div>

Accessibility

Semantic HTML

Always use semantic HTML elements:
<!-- Good -->
<header class="bg-white p-6">
  <h1 class="text-2xl font-700">Site Title</h1>
</header>

<!-- Avoid -->
<div class="bg-white p-6">
  <div class="text-2xl font-700">Site Title</div>
</div>

Color Contrast

Ensure sufficient color contrast:
<!-- Good contrast -->
<div class="bg-blue text-white p-4">High contrast</div>

<!-- Avoid low contrast -->
<div class="bg-gray text-gray-light p-4">Low contrast</div>

Maintenance

Document Patterns

Create reusable patterns for your team:
<!-- Hero section pattern -->
<section class="flex items-center justify-center min-h-screen bg-gray-light">
  <div class="max-w-2xl text-center p-8">
    <h1 class="text-5xl font-800 mb-6">Hero Title</h1>
    <p class="text-xl text-gray mb-8">Hero description</p>
    <button class="btn btn-blue btn-lg">Call to Action</button>
  </div>
</section>

Consistent Naming

Use consistent naming conventions:
<!-- Button patterns -->
<button class="btn btn-blue">Primary Action</button>
<button class="btn bg-gray text-white">Secondary Action</button>
<button class="btn btn-red">Destructive Action</button>

Common Mistakes

Avoid these common mistakes:
  • Don’t use too many classes on a single element
  • Don’t mix different spacing scales inconsistently
  • Don’t forget to test on mobile devices
  • Don’t use utility classes for complex animations
