Summary

I hope I've given you enough to consider that obsessing over repeated property values and pairs might not be the best use of your time if you are trying to create maintainable style sheets. In the next chapter, besides looking at the benefits of the ECSS naming convention, I'll also be arguing that a sound organisational approach to project maintenance will generate far leaner style sheets in the long term than class abstraction and re-use.

Ben Frain

Ben Frain has been a web designer/developer since 1996. He is currently employed as a UI-UX Technical Lead at bet365. Before the web, he worked as an underrated (and modest) TV actor and technology journalist, having graduated from Salford University with a degree in Media and Performance. He has written four equally underrated (his opinion) screenplays and still harbors the (fading) belief he might sell one. Outside of work, he enjoys simple pleasures: playing indoor football while his body and wife still allow it and wrestling with his two sons.
