Perl FTW. I think the site could easily be built with ttree.
You will have easy to manage templates and content that anyone with
some html knowledge can edit as easily as before; plus you will have
static html output. Parts that should be templated can be in a
flexible and easy to decipher/learn way. Little or no knowledge of
Template::Toolkit would be required for most changes to be made.
It's pretty easy to bootstrap with your existing layout and
content. The build process could be managed with an easy make script.
Template Toolkit is in the ports tree.
