Advice on Startups and General

The business model of Weblogs, Inc. was based on building many websites, see which ones would survive, and only further develop those who had a chance to become successful. At first, probably to optimize resources, all blogs used the same template and the most basic form of logotype as a logo, and even their web addresses were subdomains of the single weblogsinc.com domain name.

Note the fact github uses their icon to link back to the primary domain index page from sub-domains.

promo codes

A word of advice: don't do it the way every other shop does it, with a little field that says "promo code" that laughs in the face of every single paying customer that doesn't have a promo code. It will take users out of the payment flow and off to google to try and find a promo code, and your abandonment rate will go up (plus you'll be giving discounts to people who wouldn't have even known there was a discount to have until you waved it in their face.)

Instead, make promo landing pages that set a cookie that will add a discount to the next order that visitor makes, and distribute the URLs, not the coupon code.

This SO thread has enough info to at least get started :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3767584/html-css-framework-what-should-i-definitely-not-miss?rq=1

If you wanted to start at a higher level start with basic questions.

What is the goal of the framework? Will it be micro for handling very specific cases or like Bootstrap/Foundation and aim to cover most use cases ? Will it include javascript/jQuery ? Which browsers/devices will it support? Will it be HTML5 only ? Which CSS reset will it use? Will it be grid based?
