      <p>Something I've said when <a href="/presentations/taking-flight-with-tailwind-css.md">speaking about Tailwind CSS</a> and also during <a href="/daily/2024/11/19/tailwind-css-v4-is-so-easy-to-set-up">my recent consulting engagement</a>, is that you can build dramatically different-looking UIs even though you're using the same class names.</p>

      <p>For example, I've rebuilt <a href="https://rebuilding-bartik.oliverdavies.uk">the Bartik theme</a>, <a href="https://rebuilding-acquia.oliverdavies.uk">the Acquia hosting dashboard</a> and <a href="https://rebuilding-bristol-js.oliverdavies.uk">various other UIs</a> for talk demos - none of which look the same or are even similar.</p>

      <p>This website is themed with Tailwind CSS.</p>

      <p>As the classes are very low-level, there is no "Tailwind-looking website" like there is with other CSS frameworks.</p>

      <p>And, when you move to other application, the same classes are there and available to use.</p>

      <p>You just need to customise them, use what you need and ignore what you don't.</p>
