Learn how the Client-first spacing system can increase the building speed in Webflow. The main benefit of the spacing system is that we don’t have to start from scratch. The spacing is already set up in Client-first cloneables. These classes have responsive margin values and responsive padding values. The spacing system brings flexibility and allows quick global changes.
Learn about Global Classes in Client-first. This is an important topic to improve the productivity in Webflow. Global Classes are used in multiple instances in the build, so we don't need to create a new class every time when we need to style elements. Instead, we use Global Classes with specific functionality.

I've heard of it, I've watched people build with it, but today is the first day I'm using it and it's like, "where have you been all my life?!”
The www.’s been around a long time, yeah? Systems existed before CF — Then came Webflow, and soon the mighty Finsweet.
{Fs, deep in the ditches of Webflow dev, thought long and hard about how to best styles IN WF.
CF was born. The community and its clients were saved.
The end.
Recently came across Client-First by @thatsfinsweet Super dope 🤗Building with Webflow about to get lit 🔥🔥#NoCode
Checked this out at the weekend. Looks promising. V comprehensive. Will be trialling it for our next couple of @Webflow builds – https://finsweet.com/client-first/ - thank you @thatsfinsweet
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.
Made 2 projects with client first system by @thatsfinsweet and now I’m permanently shifting to their system.
Brilliantly made.
