What is CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)?

Why CSS Matters in Webflow Development?

Even in a visual development environment like Webflow, the underlying quality of the generated CSS is critical for performance and maintainability.

• Performance: Clean, optimized CSS helps achieve a better Lighthouse Score and faster Render Blocking times.
• Scalability: Well-organized CSS, often governed by a clear Naming Convention, is essential for building a maintainable Design System and Reusable Components.
• Responsive Design: CSS is the sole language responsible for making a website look great across different screen sizes (Viewport).

Example from Flowtrix Projects

While we use Webflow's visual builder, Flowtrix ensures every project follows strict CSS best practices. We establish a clear Style Guide and Naming Convention that organizes the CSS structure to be highly readable, lightweight, and scalable. This attention to clean code is essential for a Performance-first Deployment and helps clients maintain their site efficiently.
