I am looking at TextPattern right now. It works with a set of "outline" pages populated with textpattern tags that pull in smaller sets of code called "forms". This makes the whole process of customization very much easier. You have your pages, which are basically templates, and the tiny amounts of XHTML code for the "forms" can be changed just as easily and quickly as the CSS for branding purposes.
As this is a CSS discussion, I'll just point you to http://textpattern.com/ and let you take a look.
