Expression Engined
We used to build our projects on top of CakePHP, but after playing with Code Igniter and Expression Engine we decided to give it a try in a commercial project.
The first one has been with Hydroponic, and after the experience we are totally delighted with the switch, and from now we will use the elasticity and power of Code Igniter and Expression Engine for almost every project.
At Gimmicklab we master custom PHP and MySQL, but we also like to take advantages using frameworks for custom development. After playing and building multiple sites using different platforms such as Cake, Wordpress, Expression Engine, Code Igniter, Ruby on rails, Joomla, Magento or Oscommerce here are our choices for web development.

Zen Coding
Hace unas semanas descubrí The Art of Zen Coding, y desde entonces estoy totalmente entregado a esta nueva forma de escribir HTML y CSS.
Aplicando matemáticas para definir la estructura del HTML consigues escribir 50 lineas de código en 1, es una idea ganadora que ha cambiado la forma de escribir el código base de mis proyectos.
Se trata de un snippet para Textmate, también disponbible para Aptana, que incrementa de forma sorprendente la velocidad a la que escribes líneas de código..
Mejor con algunos ejemplos:
ul#menu.navigation>li*5>a
Pulsando CMD+E, generará el siguiente código HTML:
<ul id="navigation" class="main"><li><a href=""></a></li><li><a href=""></a></li><li><a href=""></a></li><li><a href=""></a></li><li><a href=""></a></li></ul>
Y usando el tabulador podemos empezar a rellenar el contenido del atributo href y el texto del enlace.
