WHY YOU SHOULD DESIGN LAYOUT CONTENT BLOCKS INSTEAD OF FULL TEMPLATES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Designing layout content blocks instead of full templates offers a more adaptable approach for modern digital products, unlike rigid page templates that break when content shifts. Modular blocks are self-contained units built on consistent grid systems, allowing pages to scale naturally. This approach speeds up iteration, simplifies developer handoffs, and embeds brand consistency directly into the system.
