Tailwind CSS is a utility first CSS framework. Instead of focusing on the functionality of the item being styled, Tailwind focuses on how it is displayed.
With this tool, developers are able to test out a variety of styles and easily change their layouts. Tailwind has a collection of buttons that users can copy and paste into any of their existing Tailwind projects.
Who Made It?
Tailwind CSS was developed by Adam Wathan. He is also the author of Refactoring UI and the host of the Full Stack Radio podcast. The buttons collection was created by Tony Lea, a professional web developer.
Who Is It For?
Tailwind CSS is for individuals and businesses that want to build a website. It is a low-level tool, meaning that you do not need a computer science or coding background to use it.
Additionally, it is so easy to use that users are never tempted to reuse old designs. Even users that are building the same component can make two sites that look completely different.

What Are People Saying?
“I seriously recommend switching to a Utility-First CSS framework, and especially Tailwind. Not only does it speed up production, but it offers so much flexibility and customisation being so low-level. The performance levels are just the cherry on the cake too.” Tom Pickering, Writer for Shape
