Partials Structures

The partials for Twig, JS, and Sass all have sub-folders for better organization and abstraction.

• Components - The smallest reusable item, such as a button or post item card.
• Module - This is for a whole layout section that can contain multiple smaller components. For an example: Hero, CTA
• Block - Blocks are the same type of items as the modules, just that these are meant to be Flex Blocks.
