The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
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
Shoutout to @thatsfinsweet and the folks that worked on their Client First System. You guys did an amazing job! I think it's fantastic that you guys touched on the importance of html tags and accessibility. The docs are great. Concise and clear. Great work you guys! 🙌🏼
Landed my first @webflow build only project 🥳 Gotta give thanks once again to @thatsfinsweet client-first which I heavily used as a selling point.
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
Webflow is an incredible tool, however, it's very easy to become disorganized fast. Enter Finsweet. Joe and his team have developed the client-first system that streamlines development, scalability & design. Don't walk... RUN to Finsweet and never look back.
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?!”
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
Love the design! Client first is amazing
