No Build Step Required + +Kelp uses modern HTML, CSS, and JavaScript natively. Everything is customizable with CSS variables and HTML attributes.

Code outside this layer takes priority automatically. +- **`kelp.theme`** — customize colors, fonts, sizes, breakpoints +- **`kelp.extend`** — add new features, customize existing components +- **`kelp.helpers`** — add or customize utility classes +- **`kelp.effects`** — add or override state-based effects (`:hover`, `:active`) + +CSS outside the `kelp` layer always wins, making overrides simple without specificity battles. + +### 6.
