Overview
The rise in popularity of front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap has changed how we approach front-end development. Instead of building out one page design at a time, the focus has shifted to building components that can be re-used throughout the product design. While these front-end tools are useful, sometimes you need a more customized option. This talk focuses on how to set up your CSS architecture within your own design system to customize for your needs while making it maintainable, scalable and modular.
