“Tailwind CSS is the only framework that I've seen scale on large teams. It’s easy to customize, adapts to any design, and the build size is tiny.”

Sarah Dayan

Staff Engineer, Algolia

“Best practices” don’t actually work.

I’ve written a few thousand words on why traditional “semantic class names” are the reason CSS is hard to maintain, but the truth is you’re never going to believe me until you actually try it. If you can suppress the urge to retch long enough to give it a chance, I really think you’ll wonder how you ever worked with CSS any other way.

Testimonials

  • I feel like an idiot for not using Tailwind CSS until now.

    Remix & React Training
  • If I had to recommend a way of getting into programming today, it would be HTML + CSS with Tailwind CSS.

  • I have no design skills and with Tailwind I can actually make good looking websites with ease and it's everything I ever wanted in a CSS framework.

    Sara Vieira
    CodeSandbox
  • Tailwind CSS is the greatest CSS framework on the planet.

    Former WWE Champion
  • I started using @tailwindcss. I instantly fell in love with their responsive modifiers, thorough documentation, and how easy it was customizing color palettes.

    Software Engineer
  • Loved it the very moment I used it.

  • There’s one thing that sucks about @tailwindcss - once you’ve used it on a handful of projects it is a real pain in the ass to write normal CSS again.

    JavaScript Developer
  • Okay, I’m officially *all* in on the @tailwindcss hype train. Never thought building websites could be so ridiculously fast and flexible.

    Programmer @ TrendyMinds
  • Okay, @tailwindcss just clicked for me and now I feel like a #!@%&$% idiot.

    React Engineer
  • I've been using @tailwindcss the past few months and it's amazing. I already used some utility classes before, but going utility-first... this is the way.

    Designer
  • After finally getting to use @tailwindcss on a real client project in the last two weeks I never want to write CSS by hand again. I was a skeptic, but the hype is real.

    Ruby & iOS Developer
  • I didn't think I was going to like @tailwindcss... spent a day using it for a POC, love it! I wish this had been around when we started our company design system, seriously considering a complete rebuild

    Front-End Developer
  • @tailwindcss looked unpleasant at first, but now I’m hooked on it.

    Front-End Developer
  • Once you start using tailwind, there is no going back.

  • I use @tailwindcss for every single project because it removes most of the annoyances of css and is multiple times quicker

  • It's changed the trajectory of my business. I'm able to design better looking, better performing, and more accessible components in 1/3 of the time.

  • My first tailwind project worked great but what really kicked ass was going back to it months later and saving so much time making new changes. I knew how everything fit together instantly.

  • Tailwind looked like pure spaghetti until I used it in a real project. Now it's the only way I make websites. Simple, fast, scalable.

  • Tailwind is a classic example of why you need to put preconceptions aside when evaluating tech. The experience and productivity is streets ahead of what you might have believed based on old school CSS thinking!

  • Tailwind CSS is a framework like no other. Rather than constraining you to a set design, it gives you the tools and the standardization to build exactly what you want.

  • I remember being horrified the first time I saw utility first css. But these past months using Tailwind on an increasing number of projects has just been a joyful new way to build things on the web.

  • I was initially skeptical as I began using @tailwindcss, until I now needed to copy a @sveltejs component to a different location and I didn't need to worry about any of my styles breaking.

  • @tailwindcss makes you better at CSS. Change my mind.

  • Awesome stuff! I'm no designer or front-end developer; until I found Tailwind last year I hadn't done any CSS since the early nineties. Tailwind, and Tailwind UI mean I can now create good looking front ends quickly, which is super empowering. Crazy impressive project.

  • I admit I was a big skeptic of @tailwindcss until last year. I thought "why would I ever type a million classes that just abstract single CSS properties?" By now, I feel like I'm twice as productive when building UIs. It's really amazing.

  • I'm nearing completion on my months-long project of rewriting my company's frontend in TypeScript and @tailwindcss. Still, every time I re-implement a component, I think, "Wow, that was way easier this time." Tailwind rocks.

    Co-Founder/CTO @LaunchPathInc
  • With the amount of shipping we have to do, skipping the conversion of brainwaves to CSS, and being able to implement at the speed of thought using Tailwind, my life as a fullstack developer has never been more blissful.

  • Tailwind makes it easy to bring new developers into the frontend project without having to worry about the mental exercise of understanding ‘some’ developer’s class hierarchy and thought process behind it.

    UI Designer/Developer
  • Tailwind has been a total game-changer for our dev team. It allows us to move faster, keep our UI consistent, and focus on the work we want to do instead of writing CSS.

Constraint-based

An API for your design system.

Utility classes help you work within the constraints of a system instead of littering your stylesheets with arbitrary values. They make it easy to be consistent with color choices, spacing, typography, shadows, and everything else that makes up a well-engineered design system.

Build anything

Build whatever you want, seriously.

Because Tailwind is so low-level, it never encourages you to design the same site twice. Even with the same color palette and sizing scale, it's easy to build the same component with a completely different look in the next project.

Performance

It’s tiny — never ship unused CSS again.

Tailwind automatically removes all unused CSS when building for production, which means your final CSS bundle is the smallest it could possibly be. In fact, most Tailwind projects ship less than 10kB of CSS to the client.

Mobile-first

Responsive everything.

Wrestling with a bunch of complex media queries in your CSS sucks, so Tailwind lets you build responsive designs right in your HTML instead.

Throw a screen size in front of literally any utility class and watch it magically apply at a specific breakpoint.

Component-driven

Worried about duplication? Don’t be.

If you're repeating the same utilities over and over and over again, all you have to do is extract them into a component or template partial and boom — you've got a single source of truth so you can make changes in one place.

Use the tailwind.config.js file to craft your own design system, then let Tailwind transform it into your own custom CSS framework.
