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 helped bring much needed structure to my Webflow builds. My struggles with wasting so much time on what to name classes, is a thing of the past. It also helped me realize what a mess my spacing use to be.

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.

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.)

Been exploring the @thatsfinsweet client first building system lately.

I was blown away by how consistent the system is, and it has made my sites so much more systematized and navigateable.

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

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

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!

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