Modern CSS Patterns Used

Layout Classes

  • .genesis-hero-wrapper - Centered container with max-width
  • .genesis-section-wrapper - Page section container
  • .genesis-hero-content - Flexbox centered hero content
  • .genesis-stages-grid - CSS Grid for card layouts
  • .genesis-community-layout - Responsive grid for two-column layouts
  • .genesis-cta-buttons - Flexbox button groups

Responsive Design

  • Uses clamp() for fluid typography
  • CSS Grid with auto-fit and minmax() for responsive cards
  • Media queries for mobile/tablet/desktop breakpoints
  • Flexbox for flexible component layouts

Modern Features

  • CSS custom properties (–var-name) for theming
  • CSS Grid for complex layouts
  • Flexbox for component alignment
  • @media (prefers-reduced-motion) for accessibility
  • @media (prefers-contrast) for high contrast mode

Testing Recommendations

  1. Visual Testing
    • Check all pages render correctly on mobile, tablet, and desktop
    • Verify responsive breakpoints work as expected
    • Test hover states and transitions
  2. Functional Testing
    • Verify navigation links work
    • Test JavaScript functionality on all pages
    • Verify brain visualization loads correctly
    • Check dynamic content loading
  3. Cross-browser Testing
    • Test on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
    • Verify CSS Grid and Flexbox support
  4. Accessibility Testing
    • Run automated accessibility audits
    • Test keyboard navigation
    • Verify screen reader compatibility

Notes

  • The theme (ASISaga/theme.asisaga.com) provides the base layout via remote_theme
  • All pages use layout: default from the theme
  • Navigation is driven by _data/nav.json
  • Modern CSS approach allows for easier maintenance and better performance
  • No Bootstrap dependency means smaller bundle sizes
