Not one single example site I posted above looks like any of the other example sites and all were changed by modifying HTML/CSS within the Smarty framework the Elevated X CMS uses.
I'm a designer myself and also code HTML and CSS. I closed a design business with a staff of 3 in 2008 to focus solely on Elevated X so I'm not saying this as a competitor of yours but as someone with hands on experience with templated scripts...the sole limitation is the skill level and experience of the designer with a specific template format.

AJ, we?ve never said EX (or any other CMS) templates cannot be edited, it is all about how easy it is to modify them by non-programmers. Moreover, that is what we hear by customers and partners who have worked with both systems, is that the Smarty templates (and Elevated-X in particular) are harder to work with compared to the proprietary template-engine in MAS which we have created and perfected for 12 years especially for this business.
In addition, Mansion Productions, having its own design department and being more than ?hands-on? involved in the development of many client sites from the creative idea, through templates, to loading the content in the CMS. We have very good experience and understanding of what is needed from the CMS templates, and expanding MAS? capabilities when a lack of a feature shows up.
