Is there a good tool for this job? I tend to see such tools make poor html which may only work in certain browser. I would suggest you look at something like Bootstrap which will make it a lot easier to make good looking sites and you need to fiddle less with the html/css as much is already designed for you. For forms I would most likely just build up functions generating the right type of input, and then have a array which describes which variables to use, which type of input and the text (label, description), then generate the output based on the content of the array, if you need to change something, add/remove from the array as you please and you don't need to make any changes for html. -- //Aho
