When I was talking with Shreyas the other day, we came to a conclusion that I(and web developers in general) spend way too much time in developing and deploying simple and trivial websites. You know, the ones with some basic content, a little dynamic functionality here and there, but nothing too far fetched from content management.
While css frameworks (like Blueprint) and WordPress frameworks (personally, I use wp framework) help a bit in this regard, way too much time is still wasted in various tasks, like repetitive templating and css, page and template creation, slicing up PSDs, and so on.
So I decided to build a set of “tools” or a “framework” if you like, to quicken the process of simple, non trivial website development. The aim is to be able to launch a website with content and a custom theme in one day.
I have quite a few ideas in mind and I will be blogging about this as and when I come up with something more concrete.
