The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
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.
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!
The initial learning curve for the @thatsfinsweet client-first system is tough but once you've got it down, I promise you'll hop on the bandwagon too. I built a client's landing page in a single day, all responsive sizes plus animations.
have to say, using @thatsfinsweet 's client-first system has been outstanding. The new px to rem migrator tool has been fantastic too.
Great stream today @thatsfinsweet. The more I see about Client-first (https://finsweet.com/client-first) the more excited I get to use it.
Recently came across Client-First by @thatsfinsweet Super dope 🤗Building with Webflow about to get lit 🔥🔥#NoCode
My agency depends upon Client-First to deliver consistent & quality work. CF is also vital part of my strategy to scale our development offering. We've done about 10 builds now with Client First and many more on the way.
Love the design! Client first is amazing
One goal for this year is to become a @thatsfinsweet client-first certified agency/dev. It seems like it will soon be an even better indicator of expertise/skill than being a certified Webflow expert.
