Best naming practices sections and divs

Design help Layout & Design

Hi. Very new here. And confused about…

  1. Should I give each section a name for ease of finding things? Is the only way to do this is add a combo class selector?

  2. Same with Divs? I’ve got lots of divs, (too many?) so seems like adding classes to all is not a good idea. Maybe just the top level ones, like left column and right column in the grid? Or don’t bother with any names?

Thanks so much for your advice.

There is a whole world around this topic.

BEM is the most common convention: http://getbem.com/naming/

Finsweet created “client-first” which is not only a convention but a mindset: Client-First Style System for Webflow by Finsweet

I personally use a combination but it is rooted in client-first.
