Question

We are redesigning our corporate website with the following functions:

we want to give the marketing users flexibility and freedom to add new static pages, change the static pages or contents of static pages without the developer(s)/deployment team getting involved.

we want developers to work on the dynamic portion of the website.

How to architect the website to make sure that the layout/look and feel of the website stays same across all the pages and achieve the above mentioned work?

Any experience? Suggestions?

Explanation / Answer

Step 1) Research the content management systems out in the world, as Mickey Sly says.

Step 2) Select one that nearly fits. Implement it as a trial. Present it as a prototype to a pilot team. Re-implement a couple of times.

Step 3) Decide if you need to implement your own CMS. I would be willing to bet a dollar that you don't.

By all means, DO NOT implement a CMS before you have experience with successful implementations. There are far too many poor implementations in the world because the developers didn't understand security, maintainability, flexibility or user experience.
