Dropdown Styling & Component Replacement
The design form’s dropdown interface was overhauled to improve visual consistency and user experience. A native <select> element was replaced with a custom-styled solution using 3ab7405, allowing for greater flexibility in aligning with the project’s aesthetic goals. This change ensures smoother integration with the overall theme and avoids browser-specific styling quirks.

CSS Refactoring & Theme Variables
Design form styling was fully refactored in 928b7b0, introducing global theme variables to streamline color, spacing, and typography management. This move simplifies future theme adjustments and promotes code reuse. Model defaults were also standardized to reduce redundancy in form initialization logic, making the codebase more maintainable.

Admin Test Redirects
In 2af0071, the admin test workflow was updated to automatically redirect to the products list URL after test submissions. This improves user navigation by providing immediate feedback and next steps, ensuring a cohesive backend experience.

Current Status
The frontend is now more thematically consistent, with design forms serving as a primary focus area. Admin workflows are being optimized for clarity and efficiency, though backend test processing logic remains pending integration. The codebase is gradually adopting a modular structure, particularly for UI components and configuration.

Things Learnt

• Custom dropdowns using CSS and JavaScript offer better cross-browser compatibility than styling native <select> elements.
• Theme variables significantly reduce the effort required for UI adjustments, especially as the project scales.
• Redirects in admin flows should be designed with user context in mind to avoid confusion.
