New Builds

Guidelines and workflows for building new WordPress sites.

Overview​

New builds are created from our blueprint and come pre-configured with standard settings. The development process focuses on planning component architecture and maintaining consistency through BEM CSS methodology.

Key Principles​

  1. Blueprint-based - All new sites start from our standardized blueprint
  2. Component-driven - Build reusable components for repeated content
  3. Client-friendly - Use ACF for settings that clients will maintain
  4. BEM CSS - Follow BEM naming conventions for maintainable styles
