9. Another real-world angle
10. Best practices checklist
- Prefer classes over ids for reusable StyleVerse components.
- Use design tokens (CSS variables) for color and spacing.
- Mobile-first media queries; test keyboard focus.
- Keep specificity low — avoid !important except rare overrides.
- Animate transform/opacity when you can; respect prefers-reduced-motion.
11. Common mistakes
- Playful colors on balance card — banking needs trust tones.
- Transaction text too light failing contrast audit.
12. Practice in the browser
- Link BankingDashboard.css to dashboard HTML shell.
- Add balance, three actions, and five txn rows.
- Test tabular-nums alignment on varying amounts.
- Shrink to 320px — actions should wrap with flex-wrap.
Experiments
- Add .sv-bank-txn__credit { color: #2e7d32; } for deposits.
- Set .sv-bank-shell sidebar column at 768px breakpoint.
13. FAQ
Where should I put CSS for Banking Dashboard?
Start in a <style> block or styles.css linked from HTML. Later use CSS Modules, Tailwind, or tokens in a design system.
Why is my rule not applying?
Check selector match, typos, specificity, and whether a more specific rule or inline style wins. DevTools Computed tells the truth.
Flexbox or Grid for this?
Flex for one direction (toolbars, card rows). Grid for two-dimensional page frames. Many UIs use both.
