How many of you build your websites around frameworks?

What kind of framework? A CSS framework or a PHP framework? I don't use either so I guess it really doesn't matter. I always build my sites from scratch if they are static HTML/CSS.

Dynamic sites I build around Wordpress.

I've used Cakephp and Rails,

Both of which I found frustrating but I can see the attractions.

I've used 960 grid system as well for layout if thats what you meant.

web ape

Yes, around Thesis.

@Sneakyheathen

you should try the 960 grid...It saves you a ton of hours

@web_ape

Yes i am familiar with the 960 grid and thinks it's awesome for designing dynamic websites

I have heard of cakephp and ruby on rails but never really looked into them

@spitfire

I've tried thesis and every website built on the thesis frameworks looks very similar to each other

I use Thesis. Yes, a lot of people don't take the time to customize it. But it's so simple to edit and add a lot of stuff too. I mean, I barely recognize Thesis on one of my own blogs.

I have tried other frameworks to build off of too. 960 Grid system is pretty nice I have to admit!

I just downloaded it. Don't have time to try it out until later though. I use old versions of my Wordpress themes to build new sites off of now.

I tried learning hooks but found it kind of hard. I'm usually not shy about learning new coding languages, but me and Thesis simply don't agree.

Funny, anything that's not Thesis I can't work with anymore.
