"Is there any reason to code the pages by hand anymore for a frequently updated site?" There hasn't been a reason to hand code anything that is at all dynamic or frequently updated for a decade. There's a reason PHP is so popular after all. That being said, any HTML/CSS that has to do with layout is still best done by hand. On the spectrum of tools available, what most people are looking for is a hand-coded layout/template with something like wordpress/moveable type generating the content.
