The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
To be honest my work flow is very close to what @thatsfinsweet do for client first. They have made there system truly global to all devs and clients.
Client first is not just a structure, it's a life saver for Webflow. I was always frustrating with my class name and structure before client first. When "client first" released, it just changed the way of building website in Webflow. Thanks @thatsfinsweet
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.
Client first gives me the structure I need to understand webflow and let's me built professional websites faster!
Landed my first @webflow build only project 🥳 Gotta give thanks once again to @thatsfinsweet client-first which I heavily used as a selling point.
I have implemented Client-first by @thatsfinsweet for my Webflow website and I can say, that this is an awesome system for structure Webflow projects.
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.
I also want to express my gratitude to @Joe Krug and the Finsweet team. Without the client-first system, I would not have a clear road map to clean up existing Webflow sites and their messy CSS and component structures. With it, I truly feel like I can call myself a “Webflow expert” without feeling the dreaded imposter syndrome. Thank you!
have to say, using @thatsfinsweet 's client-first system has been outstanding. The new px to rem migrator tool has been fantastic too.
