ruby on rails 3.1 web design

Question

May I ask you how to make rails web design more efficient?

Is compass plus blueprint the perfect match?

Is the current version of compass support rails3.1

Are there any other frameworks that will make rails web deign easier?

Thanks

Answer 1

Definitely a framework like compass is awesome, it includes a lot of helpers, and provides a good solid base.

For form-styling I would recommend using a gem like [formtastic][1], which not only greatly simplifies making forms, but also provides a standard css file. So all needed tags are then known (and can be overwritten if needed).

There a few alternatives to kickstart your application's layout:

• twitter-bootstrap: it is plainly awesome and provides a great start (it does not play nice with formtastic, but works perfectly well with simple_form).
• web-app-theme provides generators, and a set of templates to style your application quickly
• activo is a template that is contained in web-app-theme, but can also be used standalone

Hope this helps.
