Is the source for your app available? Is there a demo online?  

I agree that WASH is large and complex, but I have used it for a few things.
I'd also like to have JavaScript as an optional component in WASH, but haven't
yet tried to patch it. 
I've been using Andrew Cooke's Halipeto for my personal website, it's a nice
templating system.
