Take a look at phpCMS

This is a templating system that

a) Leaves existing files alone so you can install and convert file by
file.
b) Maps urls to hide the fact that it is a php script, so search engines
to index the pages.
c) Works easily on sites with php. It needs no database.
d) It is GPL. (Free download).
e) It is easy to set up.

In phpCSM you point each data file (index.htm, or whatever.htm) to a
format file. So updating the format is one file change (per layout -
you can have several).

By using sub-templates, you can update sub-areas on many layouts
(adverts?) by uploading one file.
