OP here: it's simple, but not cookie-cutter. I'm going to use Bootstrap to try to keep things manageable, but even Bootstrap can be quite expressive. Part of the process is meeting with the client, sorting out what they need, and guiding them towards a good, manageable website. I've explicitly targeted academics because they are notoriously too busy or too unknowledgable to set up even a simple WordPress template. I've posted this with the hope that others might get inspired and take their own spin on it. I'm really an academic, not a hot-shot dev, so this is just my modest attempt.
