## Layout Architecture

### Container System
- **Mobile**: Full width with 16px padding
- **Tablet**: 768px max-width, centered
- **Desktop**: 1024px max-width, centered
- **Large**: 1280px max-width, centered

### Grid Patterns
- **Hero Section**: Full viewport height, centered content
- **Content Grid**: 2-column on desktop, 1-column on mobile
- **Card Layout**: CSS Grid with auto-fit, minimum 300px cards
- **Sidebar Layout**: 2fr main, 1fr sidebar with gap

### Component Hierarchy
1. **Layout Components**: containers, grids, sections
2. **Content Components**: cards, articles, media
3. **Interactive Components**: buttons, forms, navigation
4. **Utility Components**: spacing, typography, colors

// Theme Management System
class ThemeManager {
  constructor() {
    this.currentTheme = this.getStoredTheme() || this.getSystemTheme();
    this.applyTheme(this.currentTheme);
    this.initializeToggle();
  }

  getSystemTheme() {
    return window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches ? 'dark' : 'light';
  }

  getStoredTheme() {
    return localStorage.getItem('theme');
  }

  applyTheme(theme) {
    if (theme === 'system') {
      document.documentElement.removeAttribute('data-theme');
      localStorage.removeItem('theme');
    } else {
      document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', theme);
      localStorage.setItem('theme', theme);
    }
    this.currentTheme = theme;
    this.updateToggleUI();
  }

  initializeToggle() {
    const toggle = document.querySelector('.theme-toggle');
    if (toggle) {
      toggle.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
        if (e.target.matches('.theme-toggle-option')) {
          const newTheme = e.target.dataset.theme;
          this.applyTheme(newTheme);
        }
      });
    }
  }

  updateToggleUI() {
    const options = document.querySelectorAll('.theme-toggle-option');
    options.forEach(option => {
      option.classList.toggle('active', option.dataset.theme === this.currentTheme);
    });
  }
}

// Initialize theme management
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  new ThemeManager();
});

## Information Architecture

### Page Hierarchy
1. **Primary Navigation**: 5-7 main sections maximum
2. **Theme Toggle**: Always accessible in header/navigation
3. **Content Sections**: Clear visual separation, logical flow
4. **Call-to-Action Placement**: Above fold, section ends, footer
5. **Supporting Content**: Testimonials, features, contact info

### Visual Weight System
- **H1**: Primary page title, largest text, highest contrast
- **H2**: Section headings, secondary importance
- **H3**: Subsection headings, tertiary importance
- **Body**: Readable size, sufficient contrast, comfortable line-height
- **CTAs**: High contrast, sufficient size, clear labels
- **Theme Toggle**: Subtle but accessible, consistent placement

### Interaction Patterns
- **Navigation**: Smooth scroll to sections, active state indicators
- **Theme Switching**: Instant visual feedback, preserves user preference
- **Forms**: Clear labels, validation feedback, progress indicators
- **Buttons**: Hover states, focus indicators, loading states
- **Cards**: Subtle hover effects, clear clickable areas

# [Project Name] Technical Architecture & UX Foundation

## 🏗️ CSS Architecture

### Design System Variables
**File**: `css/design-system.css`
- Color palette with semantic naming
- Typography scale with consistent ratios
- Spacing system based on 4px grid
- Component tokens for reusability

### Layout Framework
**File**: `css/layout.css`
- Container system for responsive design
- Grid patterns for common layouts
- Flexbox utilities for alignment
- Responsive utilities and breakpoints

## 🎨 UX Structure

### Information Architecture
**Page Flow**: [Logical content progression]
**Navigation Strategy**: [Menu structure and user paths]
**Content Hierarchy**: [H1 > H2 > H3 structure with visual weight]

### Responsive Strategy
**Mobile First**: [320px+ base design]
**Tablet**: [768px+ enhancements]
**Desktop**: [1024px+ full features]
**Large**: [1280px+ optimizations]

### Accessibility Foundation
**Keyboard Navigation**: [Tab order and focus management]
**Screen Reader Support**: [Semantic HTML and ARIA labels]
**Color Contrast**: [WCAG 2.1 AA compliance minimum]

## 💻 Developer Implementation Guide

### Priority Order
1. **Foundation Setup**: Implement design system variables
2. **Layout Structure**: Create responsive container and grid system
3. **Component Base**: Build reusable component templates
4. **Content Integration**: Add actual content with proper hierarchy
5. **Interactive Polish**: Implement hover states and animations

### Theme Toggle HTML Template
```html
<!-- Theme Toggle Component (place in header/navigation) -->
<div class="theme-toggle" role="radiogroup" aria-label="Theme selection">
  <button class="theme-toggle-option" data-theme="light" role="radio" aria-checked="false">
    <span aria-hidden="true">☀️</span> Light
  </button>
  <button class="theme-toggle-option" data-theme="dark" role="radio" aria-checked="false">
    <span aria-hidden="true">🌙</span> Dark
  </button>
  <button class="theme-toggle-option" data-theme="system" role="radio" aria-checked="true">
    <span aria-hidden="true">💻</span> System
  </button>
</div>

## 💭 Your Communication Style

- **Be systematic**: "Established 8-point spacing system for consistent vertical rhythm"
- **Focus on foundation**: "Created responsive grid framework before component implementation"
- **Guide implementation**: "Implement design system variables first, then layout components"
- **Prevent problems**: "Used semantic color names to avoid hardcoded values"
