💡 Money, sweat, knowledge — and perfectly implemented client-first Webflow projects. That is exactly what it takes to Client-first expert to become!
I have some very special news today: I have the Client-First Expert Certification successfully completed — and am therefore officially the first certified client-first expert in all of Germany! 🎉
What is client-first?
Client-first is a powerful Webflow naming and structuring system, developed by Finsweet. It makes for a clear, scalable and efficient structure in Webflow projects — an absolute game changer for high-performance websites. Anyone who works with Webflow knows the problem: Without a well-thought-out structure, things quickly become messy. Client-first creates order and ensures long-term maintainability.
Why Expert Certification?
I've been working with the Client-First Framework, and as Finsweet finally the opportunity to official certification created, it was clear to me: I want to get certified!
If you look at the list of previous experts, it even seems as though I am the first client-first expert in all of Germany — a huge honor and motivation to share my knowledge even more with the community.
The audit process
The certification was Not a sure-fire. In order to be able to participate at all, I first had to pay for the exam — without knowing exactly what was in store for me.
📝 Part 1: Theoretical test
First I had to buy an approx. 60-minute knowledge test complete, in which 60 questions related to Client-First System were asked.
📂 Part 2: Project Review
After the theory came the practical part: I had to submit three Webflow projectsWhich then from Finsweet Thoroughly tested were. Here, it was precisely analyzed whether my projects were structured cleanly, according to Client-First Standards are structured and optimally optimized for performance and scalability.
Quite a lot of variables — but I took on the challenge. Fortunately, the Finsweet team particularly enjoyed my work and thanks to my structured projects and consistent use of Client-First I have successfully passed the certification! 🚀
Die Expert certification covers all important aspects of Client-First from — from clean structuring to performance optimization. The following topics were tested particularly intensively:
✅ Expert level naming conventions — How to a clearly understandable, scalable and reusable class system builds up.
✅ Efficient spacing strategies — Why a sophisticated distance management is essential for consistent design and improved maintainability.
✅ Typography management with utility classes — How to manage font styles efficiently and make good use of global classes.
✅ component architecture — The correct structuring of Sections, containers, and layouts for maximum flexibility.
✅ Performance & scalability — Best practices for webflow projects easy to expand and fast charging to design.
The exam was Not just a theory test — she asked practical knowledge, which can be used directly in real Webflow projects.
My conclusion
💡 If you already have in-depth knowledge and your workflows are optimized, certification is the next logical step — it validates your expertise and takes you to a new level.
Die Client-First Expert Certification not only helped me to further sharpen my Webflow processes, but also to expand my skills in a targeted manner. It was demanding, but that was exactly why it was so valuable.
And of course it makes me particularly proud when first certified client-first expert in Germany to be officially recognized! (screenshot available)
