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.

I also want to express my gratitude to @Joe Krug and the Finsweet team. Without the client-first system, I would not have a clear road map to clean up existing Webflow sites and their messy CSS and component structures. With it, I truly feel like I can call myself a “Webflow expert” without feeling the dreaded imposter syndrome. Thank you!

@thatsfinsweet Client-first is a little bit hard to understand at first but it is one of the best styling system out there 🔥

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.)

Taking on my first rebuild challenge practicing @thatsfinsweet client first style system! This practice is helping me understand webflow deeper and what proper development looks & feels like

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

Looking into @thatsfinsweet Client First system and realizing that a lot of my ways of naming CSS already matches with it. But so good to see how clean it all is. Will make me go from being like 60% okay to 100% okay when if comes to this stuff.

The Client-First system is versatile, scalable, and makes class naming (the former bane of my existence) a breeze. It’s easily saved me 60+ hours of dev time and simplifies life for my clients too. Can’t thank @thatsfinsweet enough!

I was lucky to have discovered client first when learning webflow a few months ago. It saved me from building bad websites with no class structures. Thank you for the contribution your team is making to the community
