[H2] Ship faster and smaller.
text-base text-gray-950text-whiteTailwind automatically removes all unused CSS when building for production, which means your final CSS bundle is the smallest it could possibly be. In fact, most Tailwind projects ship less than 10kB of CSS to the client.index.htmlapp.csspackage.json<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Tailwind CSS</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/build.css" /> </head> <body> <button class=""></button> </body></html>Terminalbuild.css@layer utilities {}text-4xl text-gray-950text-white tracking-tighterTailwind in the wild

[H2] 02 / Why become a partner?
More than a sponsorship. Get your brand in front of millions of developers, direct access to the team behind Tailwind CSS, and help shape the future of the framework.
[H3] Your brand in front of millions of developers
A sponsorship puts your brand in front of tens of millions of frontend developers building with Tailwind CSS.“We've been part of the Tailwind CSS partner program since day one. Being on the homepage of a tool this widely used has put Resend in front of exactly the developers we want to reach.”
[H3] Direct access to the Tailwind CSS team
Your team gets direct access to the Tailwind CSS team. A Slack channel, a call, a prioritized bug fix, or whatever it takes to unblock your team.“We build on Tailwind every day at Vercel. Having direct access to the Tailwind CSS team means we can move faster without worrying about getting blocked by framework-level issues. When something comes up, we can resolve it quickly with the team in Slack.”
[H3] Tailored partnership opportunities
Every partnership looks different. We'll work with you to find something that actually makes sense for your product.“We worked with the Tailwind team to find a way to put CodeRabbit in front of their audience that felt native to how our product actually works. At the same time, we get to support a tool our team uses every day.”
[H3] Support the future of Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS isn't owned by a big tech company. Your sponsorship directly funds the small team building the tool your developers use every day.“Tailwind has become core infrastructure for how the modern web gets built. At Shopify, we rely on it across the company, and supporting the small team behind it is an easy call.”

[H2] 04 / FAQ
Everything you need to know. Common questions about partnering with Tailwind CSS.
[H3] General
Who can I contact about a sponsorship?If you have any questions about sponsoring, reach out to us at support@tailwindcss.comand we'll be happy to help.Can any company sponsor?We’re excited to have support from all kinds of companies who use Tailwind CSS, but we do have a few guidelines:We typically don’t accept sponsorships from companies that sell commercial Tailwind UI kits, templates, or component libraries, since that directly overlaps with our own product offerings and can create confusion about what is officially endorsed.We also reserve the right to decline sponsorships from companies or services that we feel could reflect poorly on the project, for example products that are low-quality or deceptive.If you're unsure whether your company qualifies, feel free to reach out — we're happy to chat.How are the sponsor perks delivered?After you check out via Polar, you'll get access to a Polar customer portal where you can manage your sponsorship and access any perks that come with it.If you're sponsoring as a company, we'll follow up to coordinate how to feature you on the Tailwind CSS website as well as how to give your team Tailwind Insider access.How are the sponsor perks licensed?Sponsor perks are provided under a custom commercial license.They’re licensed for personal or internal use by active Tailwind CSS Insiders sponsors only. Redistribution, sublicensing, or public sharing of the perks — such as the VS Code theme, Raycast extension, or Cursor/Claude/AGENTS.md rules — is not permitted.
[H3] Support
Do you offer technical support for sponsor perks?No — we don't offer technical support for sponsor perks. These perks are a bonus for supporters who want to give back to the project, but they're provided as-is.That said, the Insiders Discord is a great place to ask for help with anything related to the perks.How do I cancel my sponsorship?You can cancel your sponsorship at any time through the Polar customer portal. Once you cancel, your perks will remain active until the end of your current billing period.What happens if I stop sponsoring?If your sponsorship ends, you'll lose access to any perks like the Insiders Discord server, Cursor/Claude/AGENTS.md rules, and pre-release documentation. These are only available while you're actively sponsoring.What is your refund policy?Sponsorships are non-refundable, but of course you can cancel your sponsorship at any time.Copyright © 2026 Tailwind Labs Inc.·Trademark Policy

I love Catalyst because I can gradually make it my own while using the stock defaults to quickly get something on the page. I also love that it lets me see how the creators of Tailwind CSS structure their components, so I (or my AI agents) can emulate their best practices.Derrick ReimerFounder of SavvyCalWe’ve gone through several iterations of our pricing page recently, and every time we wanted to try a new idea I was able to find the perfect starting point in Tailwind Plus.

[H2] Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
[H3] General
What does “lifetime access” mean exactly?Buying a Tailwind Plus license is a one-time purchase, with no recurring subscription. When you purchase a Tailwind Plus license, you get access to everything in Tailwind Plus forever.What does “free updates” include?When you purchase a Tailwind Plus license, you get access to every component package and every site template available today, plus any additional component packages or templates we release in the future at no additional cost.This means that if we add a brand new component package like “Journalism” or design a new social media website template, access to those products are included in your original purchase.To get an idea of what updates have looked like in the past, check out our changelog.Do you offer student or purchasing power parity discounts?For situations where price is an issue, we offer a discounted restricted license you can purchase if either:You are a student using Tailwind Plus purely for educational purposes, orYou are an individual using Tailwind Plus for commercial projects and your annual personal income from all sources does not exceed $30,000 USDTo purchase a discounted restricted license, email us at support@tailwindcss.com.
[H3] Compatibility
Are Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD files included?No, design assets for tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD are not included.We don't produce high-quality design artifacts as part of our own design and development process, so building these extra resources means we can't spend as much time creating new components and templates in code which is where we believe we can provide the most value.What JS framework is used?Our website templates are built using Next.js, so all of the markup is written using React.Our components are provided in three formats: React, Vue, and vanilla HTML.When interactivity is required (ie. dropdowns, dialogs, etc.), we use Headless UI for the React and Vue examples, and Elements for the HTML examples. Both of these libraries provide unstyled components that we designed to integrate perfectly with Tailwind CSS.To get a better idea of how this looks in practice, check out our documentation.What version of Tailwind CSS is used?Everything in Tailwind Plus is designed and developed for the latest version of Tailwind CSS, which is currently Tailwind CSS v4.2.What browsers are supported?The components and templates in Tailwind Plus are designed to work in the latest, stable releases of all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
[H3] Licensing
Do I need to purchase a license for each project I work on?Unlike most other templates/themes, you don't have to buy a new Tailwind Plus license every time you want to use it on a new project.As long as what you're building is allowed as per the license, you can build as many sites as you want without ever having to buy an additional license.For more information and examples, read through our license.Can I use Tailwind Plus for client projects?Yes! As long what you're building is a custom website developed for a single client, you can totally use components and templates in Tailwind Plus to help build it.The only thing you can't do is use Tailwind Plus to build a website or template that is resold to multiple clients.For more information and examples, read through our license.Can I use Tailwind Plus for my own commercial projects?Absolutely! Your license gives you permission to build as many of your own projects as you like, whether those are simple public websites or SaaS applications that end users need to pay to access.As long as what you’re building isn’t a website builder or other tool that customers can use to create their own sites using elements that originate from Tailwind Plus, you’re good to go.For more information and examples, read through our license.Can I use Tailwind Plus in open source projects?Yep! As long as what you're building is some sort of actual website and not a derivative component library, theme builder, or other product where the primary purpose is clearly to repackage and redistribute our components, it's totally okay for that project to be open source.For more information and examples of what is and isn't okay, read through our license.Can I sell templates/themes I build with Tailwind Plus?No, you cannot use Tailwind Plus to create derivative products like themes, UI kits, page builders, or anything else where you would be repackaging and redistributing our components or templates for someone else to use to build their own sites.For more information and examples of what is and isn't okay, read through our license.Can I upgrade to a team license later?Yup! If you're a solo developer you can start with a regular license, and then upgrade to the team license later if other developers join your team.There is an "Upgrade to Team License" option under the "Account" menu after logging in.Can I purchase a team license that includes more than 25 seats?In general, if you need more than 25 seats we recommend purchasing multiple team licenses — one for each team at your company who needs access.For example, if you run an ecommerce business, you might purchase a team license for the storefront team, then down the road another team license for the marketing team, then another for the data science team, and so on.If you need more than 25 seats because you're a large agency or other type of company that isn't really organized into separate divisions/teams, contact us at support@tailwindcss.com for large team pricing.
[H3] Support
Do you offer technical support?Tailwind Plus is a self-serve product, meaning that while we do offer customer support for things like account management and licensing related concerns, the expectation is that customers have the requisite knowledge of Tailwind CSS, HTML, React, and Vue to use the product successfully.Because every project is different and the way independently authored pieces of code interact can be complex and time-consuming to understand, we do not offer technical support or consulting.What is your refund policy?If you're unhappy with your purchase for any reason, email us at support@tailwindcss.com within 30 days and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked.
