Nearly any design you can imagine, can be used for your client's website. Simply allow certain areas of the page to be editable to your client within your design, and you will never have to compromise your good design sense for the programming.

Our philosphy has always been:

"Give the admin as much control over their content as possible,  without letting them mess it up."

You are the design professional, not your client, so we do things like limit the number of font choices and colors they have. Automatically scale photos. And more, all to keep your designs intact, while at the same time allowing your clients freedom to update their site.

Because GraniteCMS is a database driven solution for your client's web sites, if you decide at any time to update the look of the site, simply change the site's templates, and voilà, the site design is updated. All the site's content, files, links, and images that your clients added are still there, they just have a fresh new look.
