# Overview

Vue components are the building blocks of the OpenBMC Web UI. It uses both Boostrap-Vue components, as well as custom components. Using these components assures consistency throughout the application. They also improve the developer experience and increase efficiency. Review the existing components before using HTML markup. If the feature you're working on includes a new layout pattern, rather than adding raw markup to the page, consider creating a component that other sections of the application can use as well.
