Standardize sections, panels, and wrappers to ensure consistent padding

Section container (full-width background, inner max-width).

Panel/container (card-like, bordered).

Strip/announcement (full-bleed with compact padding)

Use spacing tokens: sections 40–64px vertical (desktop), 24–32px mobile; panels 20–24px; inner gutters aligned with grid (24px desktop, 16px mobile).

Light surfaces with subtle border (#e1e8f0) and shadow-1. Radius 8–12px. For dark mode, surfaces #111827 with border #1f2937.

Respect page max-width; keep gutters at least 16px on mobile. Allow full content to expand horizontally.

Maintain contrast between surface and text. Ensure focus outlines are visible against container borders.

Provide proper heading hierarchy inside containers. Performance & Implementation

Frequently asked questions

How can I reuse container components to reduce DOM variance?

Reuse container components to reduce DOM variance. Avoid nested heavy shadows. Provide layout utilities for margins/padding tokens; keep max-width tokens consistent (e.g., 1200–1280px).
