What have you learnt in all this process? Do you find that basically it is a no brainer and doesn't take much work? Do you find some sites are well structured to do this and others not so? Are you starting to see basic frameworks that can be adhered too and make one more productive and easy to reskin a site? Or is this thought of well designed frameworks just a waste of time? Remember I thinking specifically of applications that are being built that you know will require reskinning for each client. I'm not so much talking about custom designs, although it wouldn't go astray if there was some benefits in this approach that could be used in general design principles.
