Step 2: Set Up the Grid Once you have installed Tailwind CSS, the next step is to set up the grid. The CSS Grid system consists of columns and rows, which can be customized to meet the needs of your app. You can set the number of columns and rows you need by selecting the appropriate CSS class.

For example, if you need a layout with three columns, you can use the .grid-cols-3 CSS class to set up three columns. You can also adjust the spacing between columns and rows by using the .gap class to set the desired spacing.

Step 3: Customize the Grid With the grid set up, the next step is to customize it to meet the needs of your app. Tailwind CSS provides a range of pre-defined classes that allow you to customize the layout of your app. You can add or remove these classes depending on your requirements.

For example, if you need to add a border around a column, you can use the .border class and specify the size and color of the border you need. Similarly, you can add padding or margins to your columns using the .p and .m classes respectively.

Step 4: Add Content Once you have set up and customized the grid, you can now add content to your app. You can use a variety of HTML tags to add content to the columns in your grid. For example, you can use the <div> tag to add text or images to the columns.

Step 5: Preview Your Prototype With your content added to the grid, the final step is to preview and test your prototype. You can view your prototype in the browser and make any necessary changes. You can also use Tailwind CSS's built-in responsive design features to ensure that your prototype works across different devices and screen sizes.
