A product grid is the backbone of most e-commerce pages. A clean, responsive layout makes browsing easier, encourages conversions, and reflects professionalism. With Tailwind CSS, you can build beautiful grids without writing a single line of custom CSS.

This tutorial walks you through creating a responsive product listing layout using Tailwind’s utility-first approach.

Step 1: Basic Grid Structure

We'll start with a grid that displays four products per row on large screens, two on medium, and one on small.

Step 2: Product Card Component

Now let’s create a reusable product card with an image, name, price, and call-to-action button.


  Product Name
  

    
Minimalist Sneakers

    
$89.00

Step 3: Putting It All Together

Wrap several of these cards in the grid structure for a full product listing page:


  
  

    Product Name
    

      
Minimalist Sneakers

      
$89.00

Step 4: Enhancing UX with Hover Effects

Improve visual feedback with subtle hover animations:

hover:shadow-lg transition-transform hover:-translate-y-1

Apply this to the outer card container:
