11 — Code Health
Built for Speed Now and in the Future
The storefront is now easier and faster to update because the underlying code is organised, lean, and free of the clutter that made every change risky.

Messy code costs money — just not in ways that show up on an invoice
Every hour a developer spends untangling old styles is an hour not spent on something new. Organised code means changes take less time, break things less often, and don't require two people to sense-check every edit.

The weight that was removed
Each of these was traced, verified as unused or replaced, and removed. The result is a codebase that carries only what it actually needs.

−100% removedWhat was removed and why
Nothing was deleted without reason. Every removal was traced and verified first.
Main stylesheet (8,369 lines)
Replaced entirely by 38 focused, clearly-named files. Every rule now has a clear home and responsibility.
Five unused product table types (940 lines)
Only two table types were ever in use. The other five existed in the code but styled nothing visible. Fully removed.
Old shared product styles (363 lines)
Migrated into the new shared product card component with properly named rules — no longer needed in its old form.
Mobile column width overrides (200+ lines)
Replaced by an adaptive column system that detects the product type and applies the right layout automatically.
