To expand on my above comment...
ExpressionEngine (http://expressionengine.com) and Craft (https://buildwithcraft.com/) are FAR better for designers if you have the budget. No theme BS, more flexible. You create a design and implement the front-end code like normal, then start replacing the dynamic areas with tags to create your templates. Security is superior than WP any day.ExpressionEngine in particular is proven scalable. It was used by the Obama campaign and is currently used by the Trump campaign. Also powers a little site named "A List Apart."
For smaller stuff, CMS Made Simple (http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/) and Statamic (http://statamic.com/) are great.They take a similar approach to building out your templates as the above. Statamic goes the flat-file approach (no database) but in a very capable way.
Note, only CMS Made Simple is free, but I have found the costs of the other products to be very worthwhile.
