## Technology Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### CSS Framework
|
||||
|
||||
**BEFORE:**
|
||||
- `/css/frontend.css` - 600+ lines of mixed styles
|
||||
- Outdated CSS patterns (float layouts)
|
||||
- No organization
|
||||
- Color hardcoded throughout
|
||||
|
||||
**AFTER:**
|
||||
- `/css/modern.css` - 850+ lines, well-organized
|
||||
- Modern CSS features (CSS Grid, Flexbox, custom properties)
|
||||
- Organized into clear sections
|
||||
- Single source of truth for colors (CSS variables)
|
||||
- Mobile-first approach
|
||||
|
||||
### HTML Structure
|
||||
|
||||
**BEFORE:**
|
||||
- Older HTML structure
|
||||
- Many inline styles
|
||||
- Background images for design
|
||||
- No semantic elements
|
||||
|
||||
**AFTER:**
|
||||

|
||||
- Minimal inline styles
|
||||
- CSS-based design (no image backgrounds)
|
||||
- Proper heading hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
### JavaScript
|
||||
|
||||
**BEFORE:**
|
||||
- jQuery for DOM manipulation
|
||||
- Basic interaction only
|
||||
- Modal handling
|
||||
|
||||
**AFTER:**
|
||||

|
||||
- Mobile menu toggle
|
||||

|
||||
