Why Tailwind CSS?
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that lets you build custom designs directly in your HTML without writing traditional CSS. In 2025, it's the most popular CSS framework for landing pages and marketing sites.
Advantages for Landing Pages
- Speed: Build pages 3-5x faster than writing custom CSS.
- Consistency: Predefined design tokens ensure consistent spacing, colors, and typography.
- Performance: PurgeCSS removes unused styles — final CSS is typically under 10kb.
- Responsive: Mobile-first responsive design with intuitive breakpoint prefixes.

Use @apply sparingly — it defeats the purpose of utility-first. Prefer inline utilities. Use Tailwind's prefers-reduced-motion for accessibility. Optimize images with modern formats (WebP, AVIF) and lazy loading.
