The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
Client first not only helps bring structure to your build process but it also builds a great foundation for being more creative with your websites.
Client first is not just a structure, it's a life saver for Webflow. I was always frustrating with my class name and structure before client first. When "client first" released, it just changed the way of building website in Webflow. Thanks @thatsfinsweet
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!
Made 2 projects with client first system by @thatsfinsweet and now I’m permanently shifting to their system.
Brilliantly made.
@thatsfinsweet Client-first is a little bit hard to understand at first but it is one of the best styling system out there 🔥
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?!”
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.
Getting used to @thatsfinsweet #clientfirst system and I am blown away how great it is! This is a must for all @webflow #designers #developers
Thanks @thatsfinsweet @joekrug for Client-first. This changes my BEM approach of developing into a better way of working with Webflow. Simple and accessible for anyone.
