The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
One of the best thing, i think @thatsfinsweet gave to the webflow community is client-first method.
I have used webflow for a long time and nothing has sped up my development process as much as client-first. Simple straightforward and very adaptable. Also instrumental in landing my first agency freelance gig. Thanks @thatsfinsweet
Client-First should be a mandatory requirement for Webflow projects!
Love the @thatsfinsweet client first style guide and created a button-huge in Webflow. Naming conventions can sometimes be a pain, that's why I love Tailwind CSS.
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.
Been exploring the @thatsfinsweet client first building system lately.
I was blown away by how consistent the system is, and it has made my sites so much more systematized and navigateable.
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!
The www.’s been around a long time, yeah? Systems existed before CF — Then came Webflow, and soon the mighty Finsweet.
