Styling with Tailwind CSS

I started with traditional CSS and frameworks like Bootstrap before trying Tailwind. The utility-first approach felt strange at first — writing long class names in HTML seemed wrong — but after a day of using it, I was hooked.

What I Learned

• Utility Classes — building UIs with small, composable classes instead of custom CSS
• Responsive Design — using breakpoint prefixes like sm:, md:, lg: for mobile-first layouts
• Flexbox & Grid — layout patterns with Tailwind's flex and grid utilities
• Customization — configuring themes, colors, and fonts in the Tailwind config

Building Real Projects

I used Tailwind CSS for this portfolio. It made building a responsive site fast without writing custom CSS files for every component.

Where I Am Now

Tailwind is my default for styling. I can build responsive layouts quickly and customize it when needed without fighting the framework.
