"Hello everyone, I'm working on a web project that has been growing steadily, and I've noticed that managing CSS is becoming more challenging. I want to adopt practices that make the stylesheets easier to maintain and scale over time, especially as new features and pages are added."
"I'm interested in learning about: Structuring CSS files or using modular approaches Naming conventions and class organization Tools or methodologies that help prevent conflicts and duplication"
"I've explored basic guidelines online but would love to hear from developers who have experience keeping CSS clean in real-world projects. Any tips or workflow suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your insights!"
Structure stylesheets into feature- or component-based modules to isolate scope and reduce unintended cascade effects. Use a consistent naming convention such as BEM or scoped modules to clarify purpose and avoid collisions. Employ tooling like Stylelint, CSS Modules, PostCSS, or CSS-in-JS to enforce rules, enable scoping, and automate transformations. Maintain design tokens and variables for colors, spacing, and typography to ensure consistency. Create a living style guide or component library to document patterns. Add linting, visual regression testing, and build-step purging to catch duplication and regressions early in the workflow.
