Festival Landing Page

Modern CSS Techniques Used

This project leverages a range of modern CSS techniques to create a visually appealing, accessible, and maintainable festival website. Below are some of the key approaches and features:

Note: Some of these features may not be fully supported in older browsers. For the best experience, use a modern browser that supports the latest CSS standards.

1. CSS Custom Properties (Variables)

• Semantic and palette variables are defined in the :root selector for colors, typography, and spacing.
• Variables like --background-main, --text-high-contrast, and --tag-pop enable easy theming and consistent design.
• Responsive font sizes and spacing are managed with variables and media queries.

2. CSS Layers (@layer)

• The stylesheet is organized using @layer to separate reset, base, layout, components, and utilities.
• This improves maintainability and helps manage specificity.

3. CSS Nesting

• Selectors are nested for clarity and to reduce repetition, especially in component and layout rules.
• Example: .primary-navigation ul { ... } and nested media queries.

4. Media Queries and Responsive Design

• Responsive breakpoints are used for font sizes, grid layouts, and navigation.
• The layout adapts to different screen sizes using modern CSS grid and flexbox.

5. CSS Grid and Flexbox

• Grid is used for complex layouts like .equal-columns and .faq-bento-grid.
• Flexbox is used for navigation, tag lists, and card layouts.

6. Accessibility Enhancements

• Visually hidden utility classes (e.g., .visually-hidden) for screen readers.
• High-contrast color variables and accessible font sizes.
• ARIA attributes and descriptive alt text in HTML.

7. Utility Classes

• Utility classes for text alignment, font size, background color, and more.
• Encourages reuse and rapid prototyping.

8. Modern Reset and Box Sizing

• A modern CSS reset is applied using @layer reset.
• Most elements use box-sizing: border-box for predictable sizing.
• box-sizing: content-box is used in some places (such as the .wrapper class) to match specific layout needs.

9. View Transitions and Smooth Scrolling

• Uses @view-transition and scroll-behavior: smooth for enhanced navigation experience.

10. Theming for Tags

• Tag colors are managed with semantic variables (e.g., --tag-pop, --tag-electronic) for easy updates and consistent theming.

This approach ensures the site is scalable, maintainable, and ready for future enhancements using the latest CSS standards
