## Migration Guide

|
|
|
### Applying Design to Other Pages
|
|
|
|
1. **Update HTML Head:**
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/design-system.css" />
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/modern-nav.css" />
|
|
<!-- Page-specific CSS -->
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. **Replace Navigation:**
|
|
|
|
- Copy modern navigation structure from shop.html
|
|
- Update active link class
|
|
- Test mobile menu functionality
|
|
|
|
1. **Use Design Tokens:**
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
/* Instead of: */
|
|
color: #6A3A9C;
|
|
padding: 15px;
|
|
|
|
/* Use: */
|
|
color: var(--primary);
|
|
padding: var(--space-md);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. **Apply Component Classes:**
|
|
|
|
- Use .btn variants instead of custom buttons
|
|
- Use .card for content containers
|
|
- Use .badge for labels
|
|
- Follow spacing system
|
|
|
|
