If you’re a website designer or developer that builds websites using the power of WordPress and are looking for a way to integrate Tailwind based CSS with WordPress in order to streamline your website building process, then I have good news for you!
Let me introduce Winden (Formerly Oxywind) which offers the best way to use Tailwind CSS Framework inside WordPress using the power of CSS Class Management System offered by developer-friendly WordPress Website Builders like Oxygen, Bricks, and Zion Builder.
Winden is a Tailwind CSS integration for WordPress Builders. It provides you with the power of Tailwind CSS Framework right into your WordPress sites in the best and most efficient way which you can use to build websites with WordPress Builders that support CSS Class Management.
It was initially launched as a dedicated Oxygen Builder Add-on with the name Oxywind, but later they realized that there are other great WordPress Builders available and the market is expanding, so they changed their minds and extended the capability to make it work with other builders as well as Gutenberg, therefore rebranded it as Winden to align with the new roadmap.
This product is crafted by one of the most talented developers of the Oxygen Community who always try to build out of the box and unique products, he is Joshua Gugun Siagian from DPlugins team, a company dedicated to solving problems of the WordPress professionals.
The DPlugins Team has hard-working and talented members including:

If you use Winden to build a Tailwind CSS based website, then a single CSS file for the entire website will be less than a few kilobytes, which is well-optimized to keep your website lightweight for lightning fast performance by caching the final CSS file for production ready sites.
If you want to use any of the available free or paid design templates built with the Tailwind framework to build your WordPress websites then you can easily do that without any problem. However, these are not built for WordPress in mind, therefore you need to know how to use Tailwind CSS in the first place to use them.

Checkout the pricing structure of Winden which can help you decide which pricing plan is best for your use case. However, when the lifetime deal is available for just $99 then it makes no sense at all to subscribe to a yearly plan just to save 20 bucks.
This yearly upgrade pricing plan offers unlimited website licenses for a year.

Find out the good things about Winden that can help you understand why you should consider using it for your WordPress projects.
Tailwind CSS is a widely known and most popular CSS framework system for building any kind of web projects faster. Once you learn how to use this framework, you can easily design the most complex pages on WordPress without spending hours of manual efforts.
It is easy to manage as it offers pre-defined utility classes that you can use to design any complex designs, and then you can easily replicate the same on different pages for unlimited numbers of time.
Therefore, you can scale the process and build more websites in less time that are easily manageable and changeable without scratching your head and thinking what did you do last time.
The best thing about using Winden on your WordPress site is it will not just use CDN, but it will let you import Tailwind CSS Framework in your local host or directly on your server after include and compile with Tailwind Just-in-Time (JIT) Mode also you can purge the CSS.
Therefore, the website built using this tool would be lightweight and fast of course depending on the number of CSS classes you would be incorporated on your site.
Winden works with any WordPress builders because it doesn’t limit you with vendor locked in which means if the integration is unavailable for your favorite page builder then you can simply use WordPress hooks to integrate it with that WordPress builder.
However, currently it works with some of the most popular builders and the team is dedicated to adding the built-in integration for more builders in the upcoming future.
If you’re a WordPress developer and want to take advantage of Tailwind for any sort of advanced thing, then let me tell you that Winden has WordPress Filter Hooks that can be used for your use case.
For example, if you want to edit Global CSS inside a WordPress Code Manager plugin like Scripts Organizer in a better way, so you don’t have to go to the code editor or winden settings back and forth, in that case you can leverage the power of WordPress filter hooks by offering Winden.
Explore the bad things about this product as they will help you understand why this tool is not suitable for your needs if you’re not okay with these cons.
Winden is a great product as it’s been a long time dream for many to use Tailwind with WordPress Builders, and it fulfills that dream.
While using it with WordPress it is really fun and usual if you know how to use the class management system of powered by your favorite WordPress Builder.
However, it forces you to get your hands dirty with coding while adjusting the Global CSS or Configure Tailwind Settings.
Therefore, I would prefer to have an easy-to-use visual user interface to integrate, configure the Tailwind and adjust the Global settings instead of manually adjusting things because not everyone would be comfortable with hand code.
This is a very new product and not much popular as compared to other similar products, thus there is very little amount of content like guides and tutorials either written or videos available on the web which can make it little harder to use the product for many people.
Also, it could be stagnant the growth of this tool due to lack of awareness as no one is currently talking about this tool except the creators themselves which needs to be changed as soon as possible.
Therefore, the team should focus on encouraging people to create content around it to spread awareness and gain more momentum.
Winden offers to integrate Tailwind inside WordPress, but there is one big problem the team should identify and resolve as soon as possible: they should also introduce a few design templates for all the page builders it officially supports and create a platform for open source library where people can build and submit their design components built with Winden for free.
Also, the team should encourage the existing design set sellers to create and sell design sets powered by Winden for their various WordPress builders so that it becomes easier for new users to start building websites with this powerful tool having the framework and design templates all in one place.
The product has huge potential, but the current landing page is unable to properly convey its message as the product page is not enticing at all as doesn’t even have a proper description of the tool nor all the key features that this tool has.
The team should focus on creating a high-converting and helpful landing page with industry-standard best practices that reveals everything about the product the user might want and need to know about.
At this moment if you want to know everything about the product you can neither find it on the official landing page nor anywhere on the web as no one else is talking about it which I mentioned above as well.
