Learn about Global Classes in Client-first. This is an important topic to improve the productivity in Webflow. Global Classes are used in multiple instances in the build, so we don't need to create a new class every time when we need to style elements. Instead, we use Global Classes with specific functionality.
Learn how the Client-first spacing system can increase the building speed in Webflow. The main benefit of the spacing system is that we don’t have to start from scratch. The spacing is already set up in Client-first cloneables. These classes have responsive margin values and responsive padding values. The spacing system brings flexibility and allows quick global changes.

The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
I have used webflow for a long time and nothing has sped up my development process as much as client-first. Simple straightforward and very adaptable. Also instrumental in landing my first agency freelance gig. Thanks @thatsfinsweet
Built a couple of sites using the Client-First system by @thatsfinsweet and I'm completely hooked!
Woah...The Client-first Style System that @thatsfinsweet just released is about to become a best practice in @webflow development...Get on the train!
I have tried a lot of style guide frameworks, @thatsfinsweet client’s first system stands out. Easy to learn, and very easy to build on top. I officially have a webflow style guide system, I can trust.
Looking into @thatsfinsweet Client First system and realizing that a lot of my ways of naming CSS already matches with it. But so good to see how clean it all is. Will make me go from being like 60% okay to 100% okay when if comes to this stuff.
Update — I think I'm going all in on Client First, build on first site so far was a breeze, didn't slow me down at all, quite the opposite. F*n yeah @thatsfinsweet!
When I started webflow, one of the things I struggled the most with was naming conventions. What a blessing client-first is. @thatsfinsweet
I’ve been working in Webflow for about 18 months. I found @thatsfinsweet resources and client-first system about 4 months ago. My development speed, efficiency, and confidence have grown so much more since finding them!! So thankful!
Love the design! Client first is amazing
