very. templates are the way to go in your case, and most cases actually...
There is always a trade-off between templates and versatility, but that's
ok. First thing to do for you would be make a huge list of all possible
types of content, and how often and by who they're updated. (also think
about future types of content). Then, from that work out how complex a
template system you need...

yes, all of those definitely.

yes, coldfusion I'd say. then, later on you can get into spectra (CMS).
Good luck, and ask away!
