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
