Tailwind CSS v4 introduces a more streamlined approach to styling. By moving to a Vite-first architecture, we have reduced build times significantly and simplified our global design tokens.
The Vite Advantage
Previous versions of Tailwind relied heavily on PostCSS and complex setup configurations within Astro integrations. With v4, the @tailwindcss/vite plugin handles the heavy lifting, allowing for native CSS imports and lightning-fast HMR (Hot Module Replacement).
Design Tokens at Scale
By moving our design system to a dedicated global.css file, we ensure that every service page—from SEO to CRM—shares a single source of truth for spacing, typography, and color variables.
