I have inherited an Umbraco system (with little Umbraco knowledge on my part) and I am currently looking at performance of the site
The branding/styling is currently controlled through a “Brand” document type which allows the site admin to specify background colour, fonts etc
As a general question, how are people implementing this type of styling without the website having to make lookups all the time to get the value of the various document type properties?
ie: if the site admin changes the background colour of the “Brand” document from red to blue and then republishes the site/publishes the page, how are the changes passed through to the CSS file(s) the site is using?
The site appears to be using LESS to almost do a “real time lookup” against Umbraco, which is not very performant
