Component / Module: The Building Blocks of UI

A Component (or Module) is a self-contained, reusable building block of a website’s User Interface (UI). While a Plugin adds logic, a Component defines structure and style.

Modern web development follows a Component-Based Architecture. Instead of building “pages,” we build a library of components—such as a “Product Card,” a “Hero Banner,” or a “Testimonial Slider.” These modules can be reused across different sections of a webshop, ensuring visual consistency and significantly reducing the time required for future updates. This approach is fundamental to design systems and headless commerce environments.
