One change this year quietly cut down my template support emails: I stopped absolutely positioning hero text.

If a headline is pinned to exact coordinates so it sits perfectly over a background, it breaks the moment a buyer swaps in copy that is longer or shorter than mine. So now I build the hero as a stack inside a section with a min height, space it with padding and gap, and set the background as a fill layer behind it. The buyer can rewrite every line and nothing drifts, on desktop or mobile.

Two minutes of setup, and I stop getting the "why is my text overlapping" email a week after purchase.

Curious what build habit has saved the rest of you the most cleanup later.
