[ILUG] Fastest way to develop a site

[Kevin Brennan]

That's a very broad and objective question, for one it depends on you 
current skills (or the skills of the people you are employing). Choice 
of framework and coding language is going to be determined by the skills 
available to you.

If it's a reasonable project I would advise you take a long term view 
and primarily think of what will be required to maintain the site. Often 
'fastest and easiest' in the short term means expensive and slow to 
adapt in the long term.

The type of project you are working on will also determine suitability. 
For example a CMS type framework like Drupal might suit one project but 
GWT may be better for another.

Wiki provides a list of frameworks
