New projects based on web interface or not?

No!

:D

[edit: it will not be much more hard]

I generally start from ezflow, just to make sure that all the needed classes are there (maybe the end user decides he wants frontpage-style functionality later on in the project).

But then I always rewrite the pagelayout from scratch, I do not take the existing one and alter it.

Since pagelayout is executed on every page view, it is important to me to have as fast as possible and also as readable/clean as it is doable.

Other templates that I override, I look at the one currently in use (might be part of ezflow, ezwebin or standard designs) and make an override based on copy+change.

Ok. I understand. Are you guys do your own html/css stuff or has another dedicate team do this? Do they always like do "skin" the eZ Publish?

Thank you Gaetano Giunta . Yeah, we too have two separate teams. But, my quesions is, do the html/css team need learn specifics of eZ Publish? I think so. I mean, do you use the classes-colors.css and site-colors.css? It means, the html/css person need to study the specific output mark up by the eZP to skin it?

Most of time, we don't have or have to use the "factbox" tag , or "itemized_sub_items" view. So, what is the best way to do? And what do you think about what I said in this ariticle http://readtheweb.info/2009/11/29/get-start-a-new-ez-publish-project-part-i/ (The set up : Plain site) ?

And, another question hangs in my mind is that, when only use the Plain site design, if we want to do the edit templates, make the Frontend Edition available for example; is there a whole set of edit view template need re-do the html/css and re-transforming them into tpl? Do you skin the style.css in the plain site? What is your approach?

Thanks
