This workshop is designed to help you achieve 'pixel-perfect' design implementations, bridging the fidelity gap between design and development. Throughout this workshop, you’ll be guided along essential steps—from analyzing Figma designs to implementing responsive layouts and learn advanced CSS techniques.
Project Setup
Before implementing Tailwind in your website, it's essential to set up and analyze the provided Figma design file. This ensures alignment with design elements and sets a solid foundation for your project. By analyzing and preparing the Figma design file upfront, you streamline development and ensure your Tailwind website reflects the intended design accurately.
- Semantic HTML structure
- Color and typography integration
Mobile First
Prepare to bring your landing page design to life by focusing first on its mobile implementation, guided by insights from the Figma design file. Understanding the mobile layout is crucial before scaling up to larger screens. You'll dissect the mobile design into key segments: the content section featuring the logo, heading, and paragraphs; the arrangement of logo tiles; and the overall structural layout. By analyzing how these elements evolve across breakpoints, you'll gain a clear strategy for organizing your page effectively.
Responsive Design
Ensure your website maintains consistent quality across all screen sizes by implementing precise design adjustments specified at different breakpoints.
- Current layout strength
- Design-Specific adjustments
- Attention to detail
- Tools for precision
Art Directed Grid
CSS Grid provides a powerful feature that allows you to place elements in specific grid cells according to your design. By learning the placement of elements in a CSS Grid, you'll be able to create intricate and visually appealing designs with ease.
- Grid cell placement
- Precision positioning
- Create complex layouts
Interaction
Add interaction styles to the application to clearly indicate interactive elements such as links and logo tiles. The goal is to closely recreate the designs specified in the Figma file to enhance the user experience and clearly indicate which elements are interactive within the application.
- Implementing hover states for links
- Defining focus states using Tailwind's outline and ring utilities
- Ensuring the implemented styles match the designer's vision
Animation
Explore how to add engaging animations by to our user interface using exclusively CSS keyframe animations.
- Implementing a visually appealing role reveal effect on logo tiles
- Creating a staggered animation delay for a stunning waterfall entry effect
- Respecting users' preferences by providing a simple fade-in alternative for those who prefer reduced motion
- Ensuring accessibility by considering users with motion sensitivity
Subgrid Alignment
CSS subgrid is a powerful feature that aligns a nested grid with its parent grid's cells. This section demonstrates its effectiveness in a specific design scenario, illustrating how it enables precise alignment and layout control.
