Migration

Using a framework to build

In terms of design/page structure, that will all have to be done manually. It's important to consider a design system/framework at this stage when getting started.

For example, the Mast Framework allows you to build ~80% of your layout without needing to create new classes. Their docs include a video walkthrough of the grid system method which is the powerful aspect of this approach.

The goal of a framework like this is to increase reusability of your styles and classes. This helps as you scale your site by making the building process predictable and also helps with performance.

Below are some other popular design system/framework options.

It’s not necessary to use a specific approach mentioned above but the key is to use a approach that works for you and your team.
