Why we choose Tailwind over Foundation for RapidWeaver Elements

Hello again,

Why Tailwind over any other CSS framework? I hear you cry. Well, I’m glad you asked…

We just published a video that looks at why Foundation CSS is showing its age, and why so many companies, designers, and developers have moved over to Tailwind CSS, including us!

Why We chose Tailwind CSS Video

Elements is built on Tailwind CSS, the most popular utility-first framework on the web. But it’s important to note, Elements isn’t locked into Tailwind. To prove this we produced a proof-of-concept demo of Foundation running in Elements!

We chose Tailwind because it’s the best option right now. If something better comes along in the future, no problem, Elements is designed to evolve!

Because Tailwind is so flexible, we can offer built-in components like Forms, Galleries, and CMS integrations that are lightweight, responsive, and easy to style and extend via the Theme Studio, all without compromising on accessibility or performance.

By building Elements around Tailwind, we ensure that your websites are performant, future‑proof, and made with best‑in‑class front-end technology.

Tailwind powers some of the best websites on the internet, and now it powers yours too, with Elements!
