Re: What client side html layout tools are people using to speed up template development?

Thanks this should be good enough and better than my previous practices.

Yes i have had a good look at bootstrap, google fonts... I knew about kuler and was going to try that.

Im hoping to get this front end stuff to take up about 40% of my development time. I used to work in larger django projects where i only had to do forms and was mostly dealing with everything but the graphics. Other people on the projects made them look pretty. For these smaller projects based on past experineces i spend way too much time like 80% of it making the graphics.

thanks everyone for the help.

I totally agree, use bootstrap, google fonts and the color-wheel. You'll have a good looking page to start with. Then extend the layout.

Use http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/ framework for your frontend. If you google "django bootstrap" you'll find some apps that will help.

For fonts i usually pick Google font that looks good. If you want to use web safe font go to http://cssfontstack.com/

As for colors, try https://kuler.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/

You can also google something like "20 web designer tools" and you'll get one of those blog posts that lists them all.

And if you have time check out this list https://github.com/dypsilon/frontend-dev-bookmarks. It's truly amazing!

Cheers,

Its not specific to django however i have a few small projects on the horizon where i could really save time spent on the things im not good at:

Graphic design CSS layouts, choosing fonts, colours that look good.

What are the tools people are using for this these days? What are strong points of the system you are using?

All this stuff will get partiitoned up and placed in my django templates.

I used to use yahoo yui gris css, 960 grid system and a few other things a couple of years back. I assume there are better things i dont know about though.

thanks in advance!
