Why BEM Architecture?

"BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) makes your CSS easier to read, scale, and maintain by providing a strict structural relationship between classes."

Privacy & Trust First

"BEM (Block Element Modifier) is the industry standard for component-based CSS architecture. By strictly separating the 'Block' (context), 'Element' (part), and 'Modifier' (state), you eliminate style leaks and specificity wars. This tool ensures you never nest elements (e.g., block__el1__el2), which is a common anti-pattern that destroys reusability."
