I typically use PHP and many of my sites are built on Wordpress. I have previously done Web programming before realizing that it can get pretty expensive in terms of maintenance. With quality, premium plugins and themes, you can get a quality site out in about 6 hours and charge $300. I tweak the CSS and PHP of the existing themes to get close to the customer needs and have built a KB and a process internally to reduce the full site development 6 hours what it used to take 25 hours or more.

That is working good so far. It is also easy to maintain, I have WP_MU setup and can update a large number of sites in parallel.
