Spacing productivity

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.

Client-First has revolutionized the way we build in Webflow.

Its logical approach to structure & scalability allows us to develop client & developer-friendly websites of any size.

I'm certain Webflow + Client-First will become the new Frontend-Development Standard.

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.

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 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

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!
