Are you looking for some inspiring tailwindcss examples to jumpstart your next project? Look no further! In this article, we have compiled a list of 10+ free Tailwind CSS templates and resource examples that showcase the power and versatility of this popular CSS framework.
What is Tailwind CSS?
Tailwind CSS is different from frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation, or Bulma because it is not a UI kit, and it does not have default themes or built-in UI components. It is a very powerful framework in terms of customization, of course, if you don’t mind the repetition in your markup, because you can make any website you can imagine. Therefore you are the design “Captain”.
According to the official website, it is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs. Tailwind CSS is a highly customizable, low-level CSS framework that gives developers all of the building blocks they need to build bespoke designs without any annoying opinionated styles.

But just how popular is Tailwind CSS? The growth has been exponential. In 2023 alone, the framework saw over 309 million downloads, making it one of the most rapidly adopted CSS frameworks today. Its incredible rise can be attributed to its developer-friendly features and highly customizable nature.
What is the advantage of the Tailwind CSS framework over Bootstrap?
Even though Bootstrap is an older and consistent framework, Tailwind CSS is gaining nowadays popularity among developers. Its first version was released less than 4 years ago and it already has almost 200k Google searches per month.
The features that make it grow so fast are:
- Highly customizable
- Quick setup
- Versatile
- There is no JavaScript. And because of that, you can easily bind it with any JavaScript framework of your choice
We believe that the most important advantage is that while most Bootstrap websites look pretty much the same, Tailwind CSS websites can have your unique stamp. 😊
