Global styles productivity

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.

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

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.

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.

It’s the standard! Client-first brings a common language to a highly collaborative community. Don’t be caught building without it.

Spent over 6 hours renaming and reorganizing all my classes in a previous project according to @thatsfinsweet's Client-first Style System. Totally worth it, everything is so organized now

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?!”

Love the @thatsfinsweet client first style guide and created a button-huge in Webflow. Naming conventions can sometimes be a pain, that's why I love Tailwind CSS.

"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."

I’ve been working in Webflow for about 18 months. I found @thatsfinsweet resources and client-first system about 4 months ago. My development speed, efficiency, and confidence have grown so much more since finding them!! So thankful!
