I felt like the OP is lacking in practical details (besides, try our product) but I think the topic is good: kits/steps to building a launch site for any occasion for near-0 cost.

My guess is:

- Twitter Bootstrap - Amazon S3 - memorable bit.ly link (bit.ly/kickapanda) that goes to S3 page - Google Analytics - Something like AddThis/Sharethis/etc. to do social media share buttons quickly.

Just wanted to shamelessly plug my Jetstrap which is a visual builder for Bootstrap (since many SW projects are done in Bootstrap): http://jetstrap.com/

Are you guys gonna start charging for Jetstrap soon or will it stay free?

Showrapp.co won the last Seattle Startup weekend by having an actual app running by the end of the event, complete with user accounts.

They used https://DailyCred.com (my startup) for the account system. There's a big difference between collecting a potential user's email address for your mailing list, and actually creating a real user account for them.

One of the most popular tools I've seen at Startup Weekend would have to be LaunchRock. Zapier sounds like a great addition! I'll need to brainstorm some ideas. We had several teams use Divshot to quickly prototype web apps at Startup Weekend in Lincoln, NE. Divshot was also used to build Qup.tv in 48 hours.
