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.

The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Love the design! Client first is amazing
One of the best thing, i think @thatsfinsweet gave to the webflow community is client-first method.
Checked this out at the weekend. Looks promising. V comprehensive. Will be trialling it for our next couple of @Webflow builds – https://finsweet.com/client-first/ - thank you @thatsfinsweet
@thatsfinsweet Client-first is a little bit hard to understand at first but it is one of the best styling system out there 🔥
Thanks @thatsfinsweet @joekrug for Client-first. This changes my BEM approach of developing into a better way of working with Webflow. Simple and accessible for anyone.
Landed my first @webflow build only project 🥳 Gotta give thanks once again to @thatsfinsweet client-first which I heavily used as a selling point.
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.
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.
Just finished to follow and redo the #2 Client-First live build by @thatsfinsweet Definitely a game changer for #Webflow users! So useful and informative. Thanks @joekrug @RayTirado and @harshit_offcial
