As most web development freelancers, I’m facing the problem of the front-end part of the application, doing front-end development from scratch (even using css frameworks such as 960gs or blueprint) is still just too much time consuming.
Is there a reliable/repeatable way of quickly generating a front-end prototype without relying too much on HTML/CSS editing? Can ready-made css/html templates (whether free of commercial) save time?
I can think of stuff like weebly or artisteer but these are pretty basic and the resulting code is not easily changeable.
Web frameworks like Rails and Django have pretty darn well solved the back-end problem, but the front-end thingy is still untouched in my humble opinion.
Using frameworks like zurb foundation or twitter bootstrap can speedup your development
