The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Thanks @thatsfinsweet @joekrug for Client-first. This changes my BEM approach of developing into a better way of working with Webflow. Simple and accessible for anyone.
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.
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.
Client-First ensures what is close to perfect sizing and measurement of elements in the web pages and also saves a lot bunch of time in mobile optimization
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
One of the best thing, i think @thatsfinsweet gave to the webflow community is client-first method.
It’s the standard! Client-first brings a common language to a highly collaborative community. Don’t be caught building without 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!
Woah...The Client-first Style System that @thatsfinsweet just released is about to become a best practice in @webflow development...Get on the train!
