The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Recently came across Client-First by @thatsfinsweet Super dope 🤗Building with Webflow about to get lit 🔥🔥#NoCode
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!
"Client-first is like the foundations of a modern super energy efficient house. It does all the heavy (and tedious!) lifting so you can focus all your creative energy on making the bricks & mortar feel like a home."
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.
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.
I have tried a lot of style guide frameworks, @thatsfinsweet client’s first system stands out. Easy to learn, and very easy to build on top. I officially have a webflow style guide system, I can trust.
Update — I think I'm going all in on Client First, build on first site so far was a breeze, didn't slow me down at all, quite the opposite. F*n yeah @thatsfinsweet!
Client-First is so, literally, client-first I was able to start using it without looking at any documentation. It allows non-developers to dive into class-editing in the most intuitive manner possible, speeding up builds, revisions, and bringing more and more talent to Webflow
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.
