The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
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!
Made my first @webflow website, Used @thatsfinsweet Client-first style system to keep it organized.
Woah...The Client-first Style System that @thatsfinsweet just released is about to become a best practice in @webflow development...Get on the train!
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.
Client-First has revolutionized the way we build in Webflow.
Its logical approach to structure & scalability allows us to develop client & developer-friendly websites of any size.
I'm certain Webflow + Client-First will become the new Frontend-Development Standard.
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.
I was lucky to have discovered client first when learning webflow a few months ago. It saved me from building bad websites with no class structures. Thank you for the contribution your team is making to the community
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.
