-## Usage
-The `@design.estate/dees-wcctools` package provides a set of tools for creating element catalogues using Web Components. It leverages LitElement for creating custom elements and provides a structured way to showcase and test these elements in various environments and themes.
+## Quick Start
 
-### Setting Up
-First, ensure that your project is set up to use TypeScript and ESM syntax. This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of TypeScript and modern JavaScript development practices.
-
-Start by importing the necessary tools from `@design.estate/dees-wcctools` in your main TypeScript file. 
+### 1. Create Your Component
 
 ```typescript
+import { DeesElement, customElement, html, css, property } from '@design.estate/dees-element';
+
+@customElement('my-button')
+export class MyButton extends DeesElement {
+  // Define a demo for the catalogue
+  public static demo = () => html`
+    <my-button .label=${'Click me!'} .variant=${'primary'}></my-button>
+  `;
+
+  @property({ type: String })
+  public label: string = 'Button';
+
+  @property({ type: String })
+  public variant: 'primary' | 'secondary' = 'primary';
+
+  public static styles = [
+    css`
+      :host {
+        display: inline-block;
+      }
+      button {
+        padding: 8px 16px;
+        border-radius: 4px;
+        border: none;
+        font-size: 14px;
+        cursor: pointer;
+        transition: all 0.3s;
+      }
+      button.primary {
+        background: #007bff;
+        color: white;
+      }
+      button.secondary {
+        background: #6c757d;
+        color: white;
+      }
+      button:hover {
+        opacity: 0.9;
+      }
+    `
+  ];
+
+  public render() {
+    return html`
+      <button class="${this.variant}">
+        ${this.label}
+      </button>
+    `;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Set Up Your Catalogue
+
+```typescript
+// catalogue.ts
 import { setupWccTools } from '@design.estate/dees-wcctools';
+import { html } from 'lit';
+
+// Import your components
+import './components/my-button.js';
+import './components/my-card.js';
+
+// Define elements for the catalogue
+const elements = {
+  'my-button': MyButton,
+  'my-card': MyCard,
+};
+
+// Optionally define pages
+const pages = {
+  'home': () => html`
+    <div style="padding: 20px;">
+      <h1>Welcome to My Component Library</h1>
+      <p>Browse components using the sidebar.</p>
+    </div>
+  `,
+  'getting-started': () => html`
+    <div style="padding: 20px;">
+      <h2>Getting Started</h2>
+      <p>Installation and usage instructions...</p>
+    </div>
+  `,
+};
+
+// Initialize the catalogue
+setupWccTools(elements, pages);
 ```
 
-### Defining Custom Elements
-Define your custom elements using LitElement. Here's a simple example of an element:
+### 3. Create an HTML Entry Point
+
+```html
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head>
+  <title>Component Catalogue</title>
+  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
+</head>
+<body style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">
+  <script type="module" src="./catalogue.js"></script>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### 🎯 Live Property Editing
+The properties panel automatically detects and allows editing of:
+- **String** properties with text inputs
+- **Number** properties with number inputs
+- **Boolean** properties with checkboxes
+- **Enum** properties with select dropdowns
+- **Object** and **Array** properties (read-only display)
+
+### 📱 Viewport Testing
+Test your components across different screen sizes:
+- **Phone** (320px width)
+- **Phablet** (600px width)
+- **Tablet** (768px width)
+- **Desktop** (full width)
+
+### 🌓 Theme Support
+Components automatically adapt to light/dark themes using the `goBright` property:
 
 ```typescript
-import { LitElement, html, customElement } from 'lit';
+public render() {
+  return html`
+    <div class="${this.goBright ? 'light-theme' : 'dark-theme'}">
+      <!-- Your component content -->
+    </div>
+  `;
+}
+```
 
-@customElement('my-element')
-class MyElement extends LitElement {
-  render() {
-    return html`<p>Hello, world!</p>`;
+Or use CSS custom properties:
+```typescript
+import { cssManager } from '@design.estate/dees-element';
+
+public static styles = [
+  css`
+    :host {
+      color: ${cssManager.bdTheme('#000', '#fff')};
+      background: ${cssManager.bdTheme('#fff', '#000')};
+    }
+  `
+];
+```
+
+### 🧪 Advanced Demo Tools
+
+The demo tools provide enhanced testing capabilities:
+
+```typescript
+import * as demoTools from '@design.estate/dees-wcctools/demotools';
+
+@customElement('my-component')
+export class MyComponent extends DeesElement {
+  public static demo = () => html`
+    <dees-demowrapper .runAfterRender=${async (wrapper) => {
+      // Use querySelector to find specific elements
+      const myComponent = wrapper.querySelector('my-component') as MyComponent;
+      console.log('Component found:', myComponent);
+      
+      // Access all children via wrapper.children
+      console.log('Total children:', wrapper.children.length);
+      
+      // Use querySelectorAll for multiple elements
+      const allDivs = wrapper.querySelectorAll('div');
+      console.log('Found divs:', allDivs.length);
+      
+      // Simulate user interactions
+      myComponent.value = 'Test value';
+      await myComponent.updateComplete;
+      
+      // Work with all children
+      Array.from(wrapper.children).forEach((child, index) => {
+        console.log(`Child ${index}:`, child.tagName);
+      });
+    }}>
+      <my-component></my-component>
+      <div>Additional content</div>
+    </dees-demowrapper>
+  `;
+}
+```
+
+### 🎭 Container Queries Support
+
+Components can respond to their container size:
+
+```typescript
+public static styles = [
+  css`
+    @container wccToolsViewport (min-width: 768px) {
+      :host {
+        flex-direction: row;
+      }
+    }
+    
+    @container wccToolsViewport (max-width: 767px) {
+      :host {
+        flex-direction: column;
+      }
+    }
+  `
+];
+```
+
+## Component Guidelines
+
+### Required for Catalogue Display
+1. Components must expose a static `demo` property returning a Lit template
+2. Use `@property()` decorators for properties you want to be editable
+3. Export component classes for proper detection
+
+### Best Practices
+```typescript
+@customElement('best-practice-component')
+export class BestPracticeComponent extends DeesElement {
+  // ✅ Static demo property
+  public static demo = () => html`
+    <best-practice-component 
+      .complexProp=${{ key: 'value' }}
+      simpleAttribute="test"
+    ></best-practice-component>
+  `;
+
+  // ✅ Typed properties with defaults
+  @property({ type: String })
+  public title: string = 'Default Title';
+
+  // ✅ Complex property without attribute
+  @property({ attribute: false })
+  public complexProp: { key: string } = { key: 'default' };
+
+  // ✅ Enum with proper typing
+  @property({ type: String })
+  public variant: 'small' | 'medium' | 'large' = 'medium';
+}
+```
+
+## URL Routing
+
+The catalogue uses URL routing for deep linking:
+```
+/wcctools-route/:type/:name/:viewport/:theme
+
+Example:
+/wcctools-route/element/my-button/desktop/dark
+/wcctools-route/page/home/tablet/bright
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Build and Watch
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "tsbuild tsfolders --allowimplicitany && tsbundle element",
+    "watch": "tswatch element",
+    "serve": "http-server ./dist"
   }
 }
 ```
 
-### Bootstrapping the WCCTools Dashboard
-To showcase your elements, `@design.estate/dees-wcctools` provides a handy way to bootstrap a dashboard where your elements can be registered and displayed.
-
-Create a bootstrap function in your main file or a separate module:
-
-```typescript
-async function bootstrapWCCTools() {
-  // Define your elements here
-  const elements = {
-    'my-element': MyElement, // Assuming MyElement is imported
-  };
-
-  // Optionally, define pages as functions returning Lit HTML Templates
-  const pages = {
-    home: () => html`<h1>Welcome to My Element Catalogue</h1>`,
-  };
-
-  // Setup the WCCTools dashboard
-  setupWccTools(elements, pages);
-}
+### Project Structure
+```

+├── src/
+│   ├── components/

+│   │   └── my-card.ts
+│   └── catalogue.ts
+├── dist/
+├── index.html
+└── package.json
 ```
 
-Call this function to initialize your catalogue:
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Custom Property Handlers
+For complex property types, implement custom logic in your demo:
 
 ```typescript
-bootstrapWCCTools();
+public static demo = () => html`
+  <dees-demowrapper .runAfterRender=${(wrapper) => {
+    // Use querySelector to target specific elements
+    const component = wrapper.querySelector('my-component');
+    if (component) {
+      component.addEventListener('property-change', (e) => {
+        console.log('Property changed:', e.detail);
+      });
+    }
+    
+    // Or handle all elements of a type
+    wrapper.querySelectorAll('my-component').forEach(el => {
+      el.addEventListener('click', () => console.log('Clicked!'));
+    });
+  }}>
+    <my-component></my-component>
+  </dees-demowrapper>
+`;
 ```
 
-### Configurations and Customizations
-The `setupWccTools` function accepts two arguments: `elements` and `pages`. 
-
-- `elements`: An object where keys are element tags (e.g., 'my-element') and values are the corresponding class definitions.
-- `pages`: An optional object where keys are page identifiers and values are functions returning Lit HTML templates.
-
-### Testing Elements
-Once the dashboard is set up, navigate to your project in a web browser. You'll see a sidebar listing all registered elements and pages. Clicking on an element name will display it in the main view, allowing you to interact with it and see it in action.
-
-### Theme and Environment Testing
-The dashboard also provides options for testing your elements in different environments (e.g., desktop, tablet) and themes (light or dark). This helps ensure that your elements are versatile and adaptable to varying conditions.
-
-### Expanding Your Catalogue
-To add more elements to your catalogue, simply extend the `elements` object and rerun `bootstrapWCCTools()`. This modular approach makes it easy to maintain and expand your element catalogue.
-
-### Leveraging TypeScript
-Using TypeScript allows you to enforce typing and build more reliable web components. Define properties with decorators, and use TypeScript's features to enhance your component development process.
-
+### Responsive Testing Helpers
 ```typescript
-import { LitElement, property, html, customElement } from 'lit';
+import * as domtools from '@design.estate/dees-domtools';
 
-@customElement('typed-element')
-class TypedElement extends LitElement {
-  @property({type: String})
-  name: string = 'World';
+public static styles = [
+  // Media query helpers
+  domtools.breakpoints.cssForPhone(css`
+    :host { font-size: 14px; }
+  `),
   
-  render() {
-    return html`<p>Hello, ${this.name}!</p>`;
-  }
-}
+  domtools.breakpoints.cssForTablet(css`
+    :host { font-size: 16px; }
+  `),
+  
+  domtools.breakpoints.cssForDesktop(css`
+    :host { font-size: 18px; }
+  `)
+];
 ```
 
-### Conclusion
