CSS Architecture

Definitions

1. The organizational approach used to structure stylesheets, naming conventions, component boundaries, and style reuse in a frontend codebase. Good CSS architecture helps teams avoid selector conflicts, dead styles, and hard-to-predict visual regressions.

   In plain English: The overall way CSS is organized and structured in a project.

   Example: "The redesign went smoother after they adopted a CSS architecture based on scoped components instead of one giant global stylesheet."
