Quick answers for this chapter

Is Tailwind mobile-first?

Yes. Unprefixed classes apply to all sizes; prefixes like md: apply from that breakpoint up.

How do I add brand colors?

Add them to @theme in your CSS, like --color-brand-500: #4f46e5;, then use bg-brand-500.

Which framework is faster for a landing page?

Bootstrap is quicker for standard layouts; Tailwind is quicker for matching a custom design exactly.
