Atomic structure
Atoms to pages.
The WCN system, walked through atomic design — each tier built from the one below, every piece mapped to a real module.
ATOMS MOLECULES ORGANISMS TEMPLATES PAGES
01 · ATOMS tokens.css · Foundation · Logo · Type
The smallest decisions — a colour, a type size, a radius, the mark. Indivisible.
MARK
02 · MOLECULES Icons · Data-viz · Motion
Atoms combined into simple, single-purpose units — a labelled field, a kicker, a status chip, an icon.
KICKER

Node → Proof
03 · ORGANISMS Component Library · Section blocks A–K
Molecules assembled into distinct sections — a nav bar, a card row, a table, a hero.

The page skeleton, the block library and the density rules — the rules that keep 26 pages from drifting.
