I have been working for a while (a long while) on a web project for messaging.

When I started then, I just wrote everything together, had over 2000 lines hand written CSS excluding Bootstrap. I was just about pushing live then, found a few errors and it took me a while to track down.

What I did was rewrite my site the OOP way, separating view from controller using a very light framework ~65KB.

* What I do now is use GIT to track changes and deploy when necessary.
* Use Bower and Composer for dependency management.
* Use CoffeeScript to save time writing JS
* Use Less to separate and combine css.
* Use Chrome for cross platform testing and Firefox for Devs for responsive testing.
* Use NodeJS and Grunt for automated testing.


There are still some kinks I feel like I need to work out but again, I feel like I can't get them all until I push live.

Do you think I should? Or just get it done on my pc and push live for production and work out the kinks when users submit support requests?
