Fixed Header Template

The Fixed Header Template is an open-source HTML starter template from Tailwind Toolbox that gives you a Tailwind CSS page with a navigation header that stays fixed at the top while you scroll.

What is the Fixed Header Template?

The Fixed Header Template is a single-file HTML starter built with Tailwind CSS, designed to provide a clean layout with a header that remains fixed at the top of the viewport. It loads Tailwind CSS from a CDN, so no build step is required, and you can open the file directly in a browser. Created by Tailwind Toolbox, maintained by Amrit Nagi, and released under the MIT license, this template serves as a minimal starting point for any web project.

Key Features

• Open source — Released under the MIT license, so you can use, modify, and distribute it freely, including in commercial projects.
• Fixed header — The navigation header is positioned to stay visible when the user scrolls, improving navigation on longer pages.
• Tailwind CSS via CDN — The template links directly to a CDN-hosted Tailwind CSS stylesheet, eliminating the need for npm install or a build configuration.
• Single HTML file — All markup and structure live in one file, making it easy to read, edit, and deploy.
• Multiple start options — You can download a zip archive, clone the GitHub repository, or fork the repo to your own GitHub account.
• Starter-friendly structure — Includes basic page elements like a header, navigation, and content area that you can extend with your own sections.

Who is it for?

• Front-end developers — who need a quick starting point for a Tailwind CSS project without setting up a build toolchain.
• Designers prototyping — who want a fixed navigation header and want to experiment with Tailwind's utility classes.
• Beginners learning Tailwind CSS — who can study a minimal, readable example of a fixed header layout and utility-first styling.

What can you do with it?

• Launch a branded site quickly — Replace the placeholder text and links with your own content, then deploy the single HTML file to any static host.
• Learn Tailwind CSS patterns — Examine how the fixed header and navigation are constructed with utility classes and adapt those patterns to your own projects.
• Build a base for a larger app — Use the fixed header as a component pattern, then integrate a proper Tailwind build setup when your project grows.

How does the template work?

You start by choosing one of three options: download the latest release as a zip, clone the repository with git, or fork the repository on GitHub. The template consists of a single HTML file that links to a CDN-hosted Tailwind CSS stylesheet, so opening the file in a browser renders the fixed header and page content. From there, you can edit the HTML directly and override Tailwind utility classes.

Pricing

The template is free and open source under the MIT license. There are no paid tiers, licenses, or registration requirements to download or use it.
