I have used webflow for a long time and nothing has sped up my development process as much as client-first. Simple straightforward and very adaptable. Also instrumental in landing my first agency freelance gig. Thanks @thatsfinsweet

Built a couple of sites using the Client-First system by @thatsfinsweet and I'm completely hooked!

Woah...The Client-first Style System that @thatsfinsweet just released is about to become a best practice in @webflow development...Get on the train!

I have tried a lot of style guide frameworks, @thatsfinsweet client’s first system stands out. Easy to learn, and very easy to build on top. I officially have a webflow style guide system, I can trust.

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.

Update — I think I'm going all in on Client First, build on first site so far was a breeze, didn't slow me down at all, quite the opposite. F*n yeah @thatsfinsweet!

When I started webflow, one of the things I struggled the most with was naming conventions. What a blessing client-first is. @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!
