      <h1>About</h1>

      <p class="c-lead"><strong>MVCSS</strong> [Modular View CSS] is a Sass-based CSS architecture for creating predictable and maintainable application style.</p>

      <p>CSS, for all its simplicity, is a difficult language to manage in large-scale implementations. Naming, paths to abstraction, structure, and methodologies are all free-form; MVCSS seeks to provide order for these sorts of projects.</p>

      <p>Keeping with the architecture motif, applications are split into three major categories: <em>Foundation</em>, <em>Components</em>, and <em>Structures</em>. If Foundation represents tools, materials, and the ground level, Components are akin to creating a window from those materials, and Structures would be a number of windows and doors creating a wall.</p>

      <p>For a very early taste, here’s what a simple Component might consist of:</p>
      <div class="highlight"><pre><span class="c1">// *************************************</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">//</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">//   Card</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">//   -&gt; Base containers</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">//</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">// *************************************</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="nc">.card</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.mbs</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.pas</span>&#x000A;  <span class="na">border-radius</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="mi">5</span><span class="kt">px</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="c1">// -------------------------------------</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">//   Modifiers</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">// -------------------------------------</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="nc">.card--a</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.bci</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="nc">.card--b</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.bca</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="c1">// -------------------------------------</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">//   Scaffolding</span>&#x000A;<span class="c1">// -------------------------------------</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="nc">.card-label</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.tcs</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.ttu</span>&#x000A;  <span class="k">@extend</span> <span class="nc">.twb</span></pre></div>
      <p>Don’t worry about the odd class names quite yet, we’ll cover the thinking behind those in Foundation.</p>

      <p>There’s no shortage of wonderful frameworks, ideas, and methods for tackling CSS across the web, and MVCSS wouldn’t exist without a few of these. Take a look at the Inspiration(link) section to find out more about our architectural roots.</p>
