Client-first does exactly what it’s name says. It’s not just for pro webflowers but for people who are getting started. It keeps the structured super neat and clean so it is readable for everyone without even looking to the design.
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.
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
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.
The Client-First system is versatile, scalable, and makes class naming (the former bane of my existence) a breeze. It’s easily saved me 60+ hours of dev time and simplifies life for my clients too. Can’t thank @thatsfinsweet enough!
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.
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
Client first gives me the structure I need to understand webflow and let's me built professional websites faster!
