If you want strict control over the layout and function of a web site, then you would probably want to switch from a content management system to a content management framework. Content management frameworks are an order of magnitute more complex to setup, but with that complexity comes absolute freedom of functionality and layout.
I started out using CMS systems like Drupal and Mambo, but have switched to building CMS systems with Typo3 and haven't looked back since. There is very little you can't do in Typo3, and there is no 'default' look for a Typo3 created site. You have absolute freedom in layout. Typo3 has a learning curve measured in weeks, but the rewards are definately worth it.
