I'm great at design, at the level of i.e. Balsamiq Mockups. It just takes me too long to build it from scratch in CSS+HTML+JS to get from wireframe to proper design.
I am building it from satchmo as base, but am looking for other libraries to integrate in order to be DRY-er. Reuse FTW! But I think if I can just separate satchmo out enough, it will be easily integratable with other Django (and Python) libraries.
