Upgrading to Relume Client-First Classes in an Ongoing Project

At a glance
The community member is planning to upgrade a client's project by eliminating all existing non-Client-First classes and introducing Client-First classes. The main goals are to keep the project neat, well-organized, and responsive by using rem instead of pixels. However, there are some challenges, such as maintaining CMS integrations (Airtable, Zapier) and not disrupting the site's existing SEO performance. The community member is seeking advice on effective methods to manage this transition smoothly, as starting from scratch is not an option.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning on doing a class house cleaning on a client’s project. The goal is to eliminate all existing non-Client-First classes and introduce Client-First classes. I know the easier road will be to start from scratch, but that’s not an option.

My main focus is on keeping the project neat and well-organized. I’m keen on using ‘rem’ instead of pixels for typography and other measurements to improve the design’s responsiveness and ease of maintenance.
However, there are a couple of challenges:

  1. CMS Integrations: There are some integrations (airtable, zapier, etc) , which we need to keep intact.
  2. SEO Impact: The site is already performing well in terms of organic traffic, and I don’t want to disrupt this.

Ideally, I’d like to update the existing project rather than starting over from scratch as I stated before 🙂

Here’s what I need advice on:
  • Has anyone tackled a similar upgrade to Relume Client-First classes in an ongoing project?
  • Are there any effective methods that can help with this process, reducing the need to do a bunch of manual adjustments?

I’d really appreciate any tips or experiences you could share that might help me manage this transition smoothly.

Thanks a lot!
