Tips for Naming Components on a Marketing Website

This naming challenge is one of the toughest in web development! I use IDs for each section wrapped in tags, making it easier to manage CSS. I nest my styles and use a media query strategy for a clean, organized sheet. It allows me to reuse class names without conflicts, making everything much clearer for my team. Highly recommend keeping things tidy in code!

I usually try to keep naming simple and intuitive. Sometimes, I use tools like ChatGPT for brainstorming, but make sure it doesn't get too influenced by my input! I've found that it can either give me too generic names or overly specific ones that end up being too lengthy.

Try going for names based on functionality and layout, like "HeroWithCTA" or "GridFeaturesThreeCol." This makes sure your names are versatile and easy to read without tying them too closely to specific content. If you're iterating often, consider versioning like "FeatureBlockV2". Remember, clean and consistent names often outweigh clever ones.

Naming components can be a real headache! If you've got multiple components that look similar, it might be worth considering combining them into a single flexible component. You could name it based on the difference in behavior if they have enough variation. Otherwise, just trying to find more common ground in their functions could help you find better names.

Are those components really content-agnostic? If you're reusing them with the same look but different content, it might help to think about that when naming. It really depends on how you intend to use them!
