I do our village’s Neighbourhood Plan website – gamlingay-future.uk
<http://gamlingay-future.uk/>. It’s largely unpopulated at present, but that
will change shortly.
However, I use RapidWeaver on a Mac to put together templates for websites,
such as st-peters.uk <http://st-peters.uk/> and saintfrancis.uk
<http://saintfrancis.uk/>.
I think that any template system, although simpler than coding with html and
css (and php, perhaps), will take a bit of learning to exploit to its full.
