The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Made my first @webflow website, Used @thatsfinsweet Client-first style system to keep it organized.
When I started webflow, one of the things I struggled the most with was naming conventions. What a blessing client-first is. @thatsfinsweet
People use words like "life-changing", "game-changing" and such too easily. What I love about "Client-first" is that it's SO FUCKING OBVIOUS (it's also obvious how much blood, sweat and tears went in to making it, thanks.)
"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."
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.
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 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.
We've been working with Client First since it's Beta and we couldn't work with something else. It gives a common language for clients and freelancers alike, we love it!
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
