On this page

Learn the Tailwind Visual Editor with these tutorials and videos. The newest ones use Tailwind CSS 4. Older tutorials were made with earlier versions of Pinegrow and Tailwind CSS, so some steps and class names differ from what you see today. The ideas and workflows still apply.

Start with Tailwind CSS 4

Pine Adventures playground project

Pine Adventures is an example travel website styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and compiled by Pinegrow's built-in compiler. Its colors and fonts are set in the Design panel. A guided tour in the Info panel walks you through the main steps: select elements, edit text, style with Tailwind, change the theme, insert and duplicate elements, check the phone layout and look at the code. Each step has links that select the element or open the right panel for you.

To open it in Pinegrow Desktop 10.1 or newer, choose the Getting started tab on the start screen, or Help › Getting started guide…, and pick Pine Adventures. Pinegrow copies the website to your Pinegrow Projects folder, so you can change it freely.
