I'm now able to create new web pages at 5x the speed thanks to @thatsfinsweet, with a more consistent structure and no more class naming issues. Good became better when Client First became a daily driver in my workflow.

Shoutout to @thatsfinsweet and the folks that worked on their Client First System. You guys did an amazing job! I think it's fantastic that you guys touched on the importance of html tags and accessibility. The docs are great. Concise and clear. Great work you guys! 🙌🏼

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!

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.

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!

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.
