Question for @Webflow users:
Does anybody use frameworks for their development, or just their own personal one?
I ask because I'm diving into Client First and using it the right way (after years of just using it solely for the style guide), and now I find the class usage pretty tedious.
Is this just the learning curve or should are there better frameworks out there I should try?
Hey @David Lovenburg I always use a framework. clientFirst is 90% of what I use, but Lumos is also quite powerful (also a VERY steep learning curve). I get that it feels tedious, but helps with long-term scalability and consistency. Lately though I find myself just using Relume components that...
Thanks Evan! This is the type of reply I was looking for haha
Yeah I've heard a lot about Lumos and Mast as well, they seem interesting.
I've also heard that it helps a lot to pair Client First with Relume to get the most out of it and be more efficient.
Okay I will stick with...
Honestly, while the cF framework is robust, you'll find yourself using the same sort of elements/classes more than others so it will become kind of second nature over time. Happy to help anytime!
Yeah that makes sense, you just have to train your brain to think in that framework until it feels natural
I already have been using their style guide for years to set my headings, colors, etc so the learning curve isn't bad honestly
Thanks Evan, appreciate it!

Why I Use the Client-First Approach in Webflow
How a Webflow site is structured matters as much as how it looks. That’s why I build with the Client-First methodology.
Here’s why it makes a big difference:
1. Clean, maintainable structure.
Organized classes and components make updates easier and prevent messy styles.
2. Scalable design system
New pages or sections can be added without breaking layouts.
3. Faster development
Reusable components speed up builds and reduce errors.
4. Easier client editing
Clients can update content without accidentally breaking the design.
5.Better team handoffs
Other designers or developers can quickly understand and maintain the project.
Gorgeous!
