A couple corrections:
1) We do provide customization services and do several projects for customers each week. We do, however, limit custom coding to features within the scope of the CMS and do not offer custom programming to spec.
2) We do have a list of referral designers and developers including Zuzana Designs, WyldeSites and other reputable sources of design and coding services. We went as far as offering a developer program for this purpose (

As for the opinion that Smarty is garbage, fortunately it isn't an opinion that's been shared by most of our customers or the designers that work with the system. It's posed no problem for us. The only negative feedback we've had in the last 3 years is from some users saying they wish we had a WYSIWYG editor or a built in design interface to make extensive design changes easier.
The next major revision to the core Elevated X product will include a proprietary templating system and design editing interfaces.
