How do you guys create these cool little sites so quickly. I can imagine how you could create the script easily, but making the little icons, layouts, etc... must take a long time.
I'm a front end developer and designer, so I can throw layouts together pretty quickly. I now use Typecast[1] to set a basic mood and find a header and body font, then for simple sites like this I skip Photoshop/Fireworks and do the ‘layout’ in the browser.
It's pretty simple. Firebase has pretty decent docs and even when they didn't (I was at their pre-release hackathon), it was still extremely simple to get up and running. Just scope their site.
Or am I just really slow?
