Unlock the Power of Progressive Enhancement with Petite-Vue
What is Progressive Enhancement?
Progressive enhancement is a development methodology that allows you to start with a solid HTML foundation and gradually add interactivity and client-side functionality as needed. This approach enables you to build websites that are fast, flexible, and adaptable to different user environments.
