The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Big shout out to @thatsfinsweet for their client-first design system, this is the building block that I have been patiently waiting for someone to create for two years now. Used it for the first time yesterday and it is a fundamental game changer framework for organizing projects
Ever since I started Webflow, I knew I needed to find the best build methodology out there to optimize my workflow. So I found CF. Besides the many hours saved for me, my team and clients - how good it feels to deliver such high quality digital products - can be just amazing. #CF
One goal for this year is to become a @thatsfinsweet client-first certified agency/dev. It seems like it will soon be an even better indicator of expertise/skill than being a certified Webflow expert.
Webflow is an incredible tool, however, it's very easy to become disorganized fast. Enter Finsweet. Joe and his team have developed the client-first system that streamlines development, scalability & design. Don't walk... RUN to Finsweet and never look back.
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.
A gold standard. When I started Webflow, I was confused to structure my builds.
With Client-First, I am now able to confidently structure, name my classes and build the sites with ease.
Thank you @thatsfinsweet for the gift to the Webflow community.
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?!”
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!
Recently came across Client-First by @thatsfinsweet Super dope 🤗Building with Webflow about to get lit 🔥🔥#NoCode
