Comment on Ask YC: How to avoid front-end clutter?

Comments

First, if you're having the problem of way to many styles, it's probably because of 2 reasons. You're not using the Cascading part of Cascading Style Sheets, and you don't have a good style guide (which is useful no matter how small the site).

As for organization of files, I use something called "alltemplates" that I have no idea where I found. It's basically just an organized file similar to what STHayden describes. Email me at bjclark =at= inigral dotter com and I'll send a zip with the blank templates I start with.

Third, I use BlueprintCSS.

Forth, I use a form framework, for RoR I'm using http://github.com/jlindley/accessible_form_builder/tree/mast... which has blueprint support and for static pages/sites I use Khoi Vihn's "GoodForm" which is old, stagnant, and all I've ever needed (with my own modifications).
