Start with the layout, like the header and main content area. Then create page components for each route. Then build reusable primitives like Button, Card, and Input, which you will use everywhere.
Because building them once with consistent styling saves repetition later. A Button or Card built early is used everywhere, so your UI stays consistent and you do not write the same styling on every page.
