Design-to-code work is not just copying measurements. It is understanding what the design is trying to make the user feel, then choosing the frontend structure that can carry that feeling reliably.
Read the System Behind the Screen
I look for repeated spacing, typography behavior, component patterns, and responsive intent. That gives the implementation a clear structure instead of a pile of one-off sections.
Protect the Details
Hover states, line breaks, image crops, button rhythm, and animation easing are small individually. Together they decide whether a website feels generic or deliberately crafted.
Keep It Maintainable
A strong frontend should still be easy to change. I prefer component boundaries, readable naming, and styling patterns that let a site evolve without losing visual consistency.
