Creative: need better image
Mobile-first mentality = Design is focused for a mobile device, instead of mobile design being treated as an adaptation from a desktop design.
In Blueprint version, a lot of the data was locked up in Bigcommerce specific variables that you didn’t have access to. With Stencil using handlebars, you now have access to handle and manipulate the data any way you want. The dreaded “global variable” no longer exists. Particularly prevalent on product pages or emails. You can’t change what’s in a global variable.
