I'm using plone (
www.plone.org) for some work projects and it's worked
really well.  It's overkill for a single site, so I use the basic Zope
(
www.zope.org, what Plone is built on top of) for 
www.oldskool.org and
it's worked for me for nearly a decade.  I built some simple objects
that inherit some simple code from parent objects, so all I have to do
to add new pages to the site is create a new object and it inherits the
header, footer, navigation tree, etc. from the parent objects.
(Previously, for the same site, I used server-side includes that called
perl scripts for things like displaying a fancy table from a flat-file
textfile database, which also worked well for 2 years.)
If you want something prototyped quickly and like jumping on the
buzzwerd teknology bandwagon, try playing with Ruby On Rails.
