Class-less CSS

Class-less CSS eliminates the need for manually applying classes to your HTML elements.

Instead, elements are automatically styled based on their HTML tags, giving you a clean, ready-to-use design without the extra overhead of writing specific class names.

With the Fylgja Base package, you get an out-of-the-box solution for this streamlined approach, offering a solid and customizable foundation.

Why Use Class-less CSS?

The core advantage of Class-less CSS is simplicity.

You can build pages faster by relying on automatic, tag-based styling, which comes with well-designed defaults that already look better than standard browser styles.

And if you want to go beyond the defaults, you can still apply custom CSS without any restrictions.

This combination of ease and flexibility makes Class-less CSS an ideal starting point for quick prototyping or for projects where a minimalist, clean structure is essential.

Class-less vs Normalize/Reset CSS

While Normalize and Reset stylesheets focus on creating a consistent baseline across browsers, Class-less CSS goes a step further by giving you refined styles from the outset.

Instead of having to manually design basic components like forms, buttons, and headings, these elements are styled with better defaults that require little to no modification.

For instance, form elements such as input fields or buttons are commonly left untouched in normalize or reset styles.

Class-less CSS takes care of them, improving their appearance and functionality while maintaining full flexibility for further customization.

Customizing with Fylgja Base

Customization is straightforward with Fylgja Base.

You can modify built-in CSS variables or add your own styles, giving you complete control over your design.

What makes Fylgja Base stand out is its low specificity.

This means your custom styles can easily override the defaults without fighting against overly specific selectors.

This flexibility ensures that Class-less CSS provides a solid foundation for any project, but it never limits your ability to personalize the look and feel of your site.
