Detailed Guide

Buttons Are More Complex Than They Look

A well-designed button isn't just background-color: blue; color: white. It needs:

  • The right size (padding, font-size, height) for the context
  • A hover state that provides clear feedback
  • A focus ring for keyboard accessibility
  • An active/pressed state for visual responsiveness
  • Disabled state styling
  • Optional icon alignment

Tailwind makes all of this composable, but composing it correctly from scratch takes time. Our generator does it for you.
