Principles

Responsive

Everything should be 100% responsive. Your website should work regardless of a user’s device or screensize.

Readable

No matter the lighting, or the device, font-sizes should be large enough and contrast should be high enough for your users to easily read your content.

Modular

Tachyons isn’t just a monolithic framework. It’s a collection of small modules that can be mixed and matched or used independently. Use what you need. Leave the rest.

Accessible

Accessibility is important to us. Throughout both the css and the documentation we provide numerous tools and methods for making it easier to maximize the accessibility of your site.

Performant

Code should be optimized for performance.

Reusable

Clear documentation helps create a shared understanding of design patterns amongst your team. This helps promote reuse and reduces the amount of redundancy in a codebase.
