I just write the code from scratch myself with self created header and footer boiler plate templates etc. as CMS always do things I hate like using javascript even for simple things when it is not required or "mobile" versions and make sites which aren't very fast. I do wonder what gov.uk are using these days though as it's actually quite nice, fast and jsless capable. Amazon is also jsless capable. Nowadays I usually code in netbeans but I usually can't host my friends websites as I don't want the dangers of CMS (writing it's own content) on my server but I'm interested in these template systems myself as I have considered using a CMS offline and then copying a secured staticised version over to the live server but there is still some work (fighting with the ports or developers defaults like permissions) to make that viable and secure but it maybe worth considering. p.s. If you know what you are doing then the browser web tools such as in chrome make editing far faster and more powerful than using a CMS and mean you can do anything. CMS are really for allowing you to pay many people lower wages and make it easy to give them limited power or allow the masses to make simple changes regularly. -- KISSIS - Keep It Simple So It's Securable
