The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Dan DeHart
I've heard of it, I've watched people build with it, but today is the first day I'm using it and it's like, "where have you been all my life?!”
Cory Runnells, aka "Flowman!"
Client-first helped bring much needed structure to my Webflow builds. My struggles with wasting so much time on what to name classes, is a thing of the past. It also helped me realize what a mess my spacing use to be.
Zebediah
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!
Hafizz - Webflow Designer & Developer
Client-first does exactly what it’s name says. It’s not just for pro webflowers but for people who are getting started. It keeps the structured super neat and clean so it is readable for everyone without even looking to the design.

The initial learning curve for the @thatsfinsweet client-first system is tough but once you've got it down, I promise you'll hop on the bandwagon too. I built a client's landing page in a single day, all responsive sizes plus animations.
Adil-Webflow Developer
Client-first is literally became a industry standard while building out in Webflow. It makes structure, spacing, naming so much easy and increases productivity while building the websites. Also it helps other Developers easily understand structuring of the website! Game changer!
Hal Zeitlin
My agency depends upon Client-First to deliver consistent & quality work. CF is also vital part of my strategy to scale our development offering. We've done about 10 builds now with Client First and many more on the way.

Client-First ensures what is close to perfect sizing and measurement of elements in the web pages and also saves a lot bunch of time in mobile optimization
Marcel Deelen
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.
