Learn the hierarchy
Understand sections, rows, modules, templates and presets before building dozens of pages. Consistent structure makes later edits easier.
Set global decisions early
Define typography, colors, spacing and repeated components before duplicating layouts.
Use templates selectively
Starter layouts can accelerate the first draft, but remove sections you do not need and replace generic content with real site goals.
Build one complete page
Finish a single representative page across desktop, tablet and mobile. Then turn the successful decisions into reusable presets and templates.
