-**Where to add new components**: Add to `/components/` with descriptive names
+**Where to add new components**:
+- **Global `/components/`**: ONLY for components reused across multiple pages (e.g., `Sidebar.tsx`, `DeleteConfirmModal.tsx`)
+- **Page-specific components**: Keep inside the page's own folder (e.g., `/app/dashboard/orders/OrderSummaryCard.tsx`)
+
+**⚠️ Important Rule**: If a component is only used by ONE specific page, it should live in that page's folder, NOT in the global `/components/` directory. This keeps the codebase organized and prevents component bloat.
+
 **Naming convention**: PascalCase, suffix with type (e.g., `UserModal.tsx`, `OrderTable.tsx`)
 
+**Example Structure**:
+```
+app/dashboard/orders/
+├── page.tsx                      # Main orders page
+├── OrderSummaryCard.tsx          # Page-specific component
+└── OrderFilters.tsx              # Page-specific component
