Tailwind CSS development

Build beautiful, responsive, and highly customizableuser interfaces with Tailwind CSS

We turn a design into a Tailwind theme and a set of components, then build the interface from them. We also upgrade v3 projects to v4, which moves configuration out of JavaScript and raises the browser floor. This website is styled with Tailwind v4.

What Tailwind work covers

Tailwind only pays off when the design decisions behind it are made once.

  • Turning a design into a theme

    Colours, type sizes, spacing and breakpoints from your design file become @theme variables, so developers pick from agreed values rather than guessing.

  • Component libraries

    Buttons, forms and tables written once in React or Vue, so long class lists live in one component and pages stay readable.

  • Moving from v3 to v4

    Running the official upgrade tool on a branch, then reviewing every change it made and checking the screens it can't reason about.

  • Replacing older CSS

    Moving a Bootstrap or hand-written stylesheet across screen by screen, with both able to run during the move if the class names don't clash.

Tailwind CSS, as of October 2026

From Tailwind's upgrade guide and release notes. The first point decides whether v4 is open to you.

  • Browser floor

    v4 is designed for Safari 16.4+, Chrome 111+ and Firefox 128+. If you must support anything older, Tailwind's advice is to stay on v3.4. Check your analytics first.

  • Configuration moved to CSS

    Theme values are now declared in CSS with @theme and exposed as variables. A tailwind.config.js still works, but must be loaded with @config because it is no longer detected.

  • Current line: v4.3

    The v4.3 post of May 2026 covers scrollbar utilities, more logical properties and new colour palettes. These are small additions; upgrading from v3 is the larger job.

When Tailwind suits you

It is a working style as much as a tool, and not every team likes it.

  • A good fit

    Product interfaces built from components, where several developers should produce consistent screens without maintaining a growing stylesheet.

  • A weaker fit

    Content-heavy sites edited by non-developers, or a team that prefers semantic class names. HTML with utility classes can be hard to read if it isn't split into components.

  • Upgrade traps

    corePlugins, safelist and separator are not supported in v4. Safelisting moves to @source inline(), and code calling resolveConfig has to read the CSS variables instead.

  • Tooling you need

    The upgrade tool needs Node.js 20 or newer, so an old build server may need updating first. We check that before starting the upgrade.

How Tailwind work runs

The theme comes before the screens, and agreed components come before the pages.

  1. Read the design as a system

    We list the real colours, sizes and spacing used, and raise the near-duplicates with your designer before they become code.

  2. Write the theme

    The agreed values go into @theme, including dark mode if you need it, so there is one place to change them.

  3. Build components first

    Shared components are reviewed on their own, then pages are assembled from them with few one-off classes.

  4. Check on real browsers

    We test your minimum browsers and keyboard use, and run automated contrast checks, before each screen is treated as finished.

Ways to run a Tailwind project

A v3 upgrade is well defined. A design system grows with the product.

A v3 to v4 upgrade suits a fixed price once we have seen the config file and the number of screens. Longer interface work can run through a dedicated front-end developer instead. Time-based work begins from $20/h in USD, invoiced in USD, GBP, EUR or INR.

We are an engineering team in India with 3–5 hours of overlap with the UK and Europe; US calls by appointment. The shared hours leave time each day for a designer to review screens in the browser with us. Tailwind sits on top of a framework, so see React, Next.js or Vue for the application side.

Why you won't see client screens here

Most of our work is delivered under NDA, so many projects cannot be named.

Interface screenshots are exactly what those agreements cover, so this page shows no client screens. The site you are reading is ours, and you can inspect how it is put together.

Questions about Tailwind CSS

What teams ask before adopting or upgrading.

Should we upgrade from v3 to v4 now?
If your supported browsers meet the v4 floor and the project is still being developed, yes. If you must support older browsers, or the site is rarely touched, v3.4 can stay for now.
Will the upgrade tool do everything?
It handles most of it, including moving configuration into CSS, but its changes need review. Custom plugins and dynamically built class names need checking by hand, which is why we test every screen.
Does Tailwind make a site look generic?
Only if its defaults are left in place. With your own theme and components, the result looks like your design, because Tailwind has no visual style of its own beyond those defaults.
Can it work with a CMS?
Yes for templates, as long as the content editors don't need to write classes themselves. Rich-text content needs its own styles, which we set up with the typography plugin or custom CSS.
