CSS framework selection when developing a WordPress theme
-
Hi,
I’m New to WordPress Development, I’m developing a custom theme for a client, I initially chosen bootstrap as the CSS framework and, however I rewrite the code and switched to tailwind since it only added classes we use, however now client needs woocommerce integration and style changes a lot, but the problem is when adding new css classes, it needs to be run on tailwind compiler to (whatever it calls), that adds extra work since I’ve to modify it in html template files, then update WordPress stylesheet, but if I’ve used bootstrap, it’s a matter of just adding a class. Also the other thing is, some plugins inherit styles from the theme and since what tailwind adds very minimum, some plugin output design is not that good, so have to add lot of custom css in that case, also if modify the output using hooks, I feel adding lot of unnecessary code when just to modify CSS or inject tailwind classes into plugin output.
So my question is, is Tailwind a good framework for WordPress and WooCommerce theme development? I did some research on Youtube, google and etc, but no one seems to be talking about it much. If you take a look at themes on Themeforest and etc pretty much all the WooCommerce and WP theme are based of Bootstrap.
Now I’m in doubt of I made the wrong decision by choosing, Tailwind. ( I love tailwind btw as a framework and how flexible it is when coding fronted)
