How to make new UI development take less developer time

Brainstorm on Faster UI development

Can CSS based HTML pages be created quickly and effectively?
seems like there are usually CSS issues to deal with especially across browsers.
- how much of a win would it be to support only firefox?
  - one browser would cut test matrix
firebug provides CSS editor
IE 9 Beta (Developer Mode) has similar feature as firebug
Thoughtworks does "developer box test"
- dev sits with QA and business analyst before saying area is done to catch issues while developer is still working on it.
possible stumbling block has been long reloading time for FTL pages in eclipse
- establish a standard way to have fast turnaround for FTL page development
can we get better practice in place for how to lay out html pages
- can we leverage what was done in questionaire area and repeat that
- is there a HTML/CSS/JS/UI guru we could get access to?
can we document the process for constructing good HTML/CSS?
idea of creating FTL widgets (probably macro based) that can be reused on all pages
- do a spike to create these widgets
