I'd suggest using webstarts... And make a custom template. I don't know anyone that likes any test template. They are all too regular.
I made a site on there completely from scratch. It takes time, but it's beyond worth it. But I can get that you don't want to spend that much time making a site for others.
So do as you please. I won't get in your way. I don't have a clan, nor need a site for that matter anyway, so anything I say can be ignored. Besides, I'd make my own site if I needed to. I want to both put effort into my own things, and be able to take credit for it if anyone says ''Good job!''
