I've been playing around with a Template program for CMS called Artisteer that seems like a cool investment. This is a thumbnail of my first attempt. I can tell it's going to need a lot of work - the layout is too busy, and of course it's got the word TRIAL watermarked all over it.
I think I'm going to go ahead and get the software. It's cheaper than figuring out CSS and XHTML, or hiring someone who already knows it.
One thing is for sure - it will pave the way for a lot of really crappy graphic design, the same way desktop publishing in the eighties opened up printing to people who should probably not be doing layouts.
