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.

The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Love the design! Client first is amazing
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.
Big shout out to @thatsfinsweet for their client-first design system, this is the building block that I have been patiently waiting for someone to create for two years now. Used it for the first time yesterday and it is a fundamental game changer framework for organizing projects
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.
Client-First should be a mandatory requirement for Webflow projects!
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!
I am getting ready to ship this project off to the client. This was a lot of fun to develop, and I love seeing more designers switch to @webflow. I know they’ll be able to manage the site easily after handoff, thanks to the @thatsfinsweet 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.
