## What it is
GetBEM is an educational website and documentation resource that explains the BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) CSS naming methodology in a simple, accessible way. The site is built with Astro and serves as the canonical reference at getbem.com.

## Use cases
- learn the BEM CSS naming convention
- find examples of block element modifier class naming
- teach a team a consistent CSS methodology
- reference BEM naming rules while writing stylesheets
- understand how to structure CSS for large projects

## When to choose
- you want a simple, community-standard introduction to BEM
- you need a shareable reference for CSS naming conventions
- you are onboarding developers to a BEM-based codebase

## When to avoid
- you need a CSS framework or utility library rather than a methodology guide
- you prefer alternative methodologies like SMACSS, OOCSS, or CSS Modules
- you need tooling that enforces BEM automatically
