The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Client first not only helps bring structure to your build process but it also builds a great foundation for being more creative with your websites.
Client-First is accessible enough yet powerful enough that I consider it the single reason I went from amateur to Webflow pro.
"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."
Client-First has been key in the scaling our agency. We were able to hand the docs off to potential hires and quickly found candidates who were on board with using Client-First. Now, all of our build across our developers are the same and can be easily updated across the board.
Great stream today @thatsfinsweet. The more I see about Client-first (https://finsweet.com/client-first) the more excited I get to use it.
@joekrug @RayTirado @thatsfinsweet It’s truly amazing what you’ve created, & so generously shared, with the @webflow community. It’s unbelievable that your Chrome extension & Client-first are FREE! Thank you!
People use words like "life-changing", "game-changing" and such too easily. What I love about "Client-first" is that it's SO FUCKING OBVIOUS (it's also obvious how much blood, sweat and tears went in to making it, thanks.)
When I started webflow, one of the things I struggled the most with was naming conventions. What a blessing client-first is. @thatsfinsweet
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!
