The community and Client-First
Here's what the Webflow community is saying
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.
Ever since I started Webflow, I knew I needed to find the best build methodology out there to optimize my workflow. So I found CF. Besides the many hours saved for me, my team and clients - how good it feels to deliver such high quality digital products - can be just amazing. #CF
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.
Great stream today @thatsfinsweet. The more I see about Client-first (https://finsweet.com/client-first) the more excited I get to use it.

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
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
Client-First is accessible enough yet powerful enough that I consider it the single reason I went from amateur to Webflow pro.
