Getting Started with Astro and Tailwind

Astro is a modern static site generator that ships zero JavaScript by default. Combined with Tailwind CSS, it becomes a powerful toolkit for building fast, content-driven websites.

Why Astro?

Astro's islands architecture lets you bring in interactive components only where needed. The rest of your page stays as lean static HTML. This means faster load times and better performance scores.

Why Tailwind?

Tailwind's utility-first approach keeps your CSS maintainable and your components self-contained. No more jumping between files to style a button.

Getting Started

To create a new Astro project with Tailwind:

pnpm create astro@latest my-site
cd my-site
pnpm add tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite

Then configure Astro to use the Tailwind Vite plugin and you are ready to build.
