Forms validation and creation- easier solution?

Hi all. We have done quite a few projects and we are looking to find better ways to implementing forms. Forms seem to be quite time consuming and repetitive. Generally are there any classes or libraries that will assist with: 1. Easy creation of forms (fields and layout) 2. Validation of specific fields within the forms (server side not JS) 3. Decrease in time required to setup the forms pages any other comments are welcome.
