Dresssed.com aims for Premium rails themes

Local developer Marc-André Cournoyer has announced a new project named dresssed which will provide top themes for rails applications. The service promises work from design professionnals and will give rails developers a good design (graphics and UI) for their new app. Nothing is available yet from the the Dresssed.com website as you will be greeted by a marketing survey, but given Marc-André’s work so far, this is a project to watch.

Development-wise, this is a good idea, since one of Rails’s main sales point was its speed of development and functionality out of the box. It should be specially interesting for one-man dev teams (read: consultant or the entrepreneur/dev profile) who want to focus on development and take care of the design later.

Add this to services like heroku, which takes care of the hosting and the back-end, and it might be possible soon for developers to take care only of the model logic, write a couple of HTML snippets and have in a couple of hours a running web service.
