For a responsive design, I used Yahoo's Pure.css framework. It was fairly easy to work with and basically its just two Laravel blade view files that display the site's content (a master template and a view template). I also added a Twitter account, which can be found at http://www.twitter.com/topcuteanimals http://www.twitter.com/topcuteanimals as well as a Facebook page. I used a neat service called Zapier to post pictures from my site over to the Facebook and Twitter pages on an hourly basis. However, I didn't want to run out of the free plan for Zapier so now it is limited to just one update a day. All the scheduled cron jobs are handled via Laravel Forge which has honestly been a joy to work with. I have been using Git flow via Source tree and host my code in a private Git repository on Bitbucket. This helps with the fact that whenever I plan to make a release or a hotfix, each push to the master branch makes an automated deployment to the live site thanks to Laravel Forge's helpful integration. I also use Redis to cache the posts so as not to hammer my tiny server's MySQL database too much. Overall most of the site was done within a day with incremental updates that I have been adding in my free time over the past couple of weeks.
