Anyone Know About Database Driven Template Websites? Is That What It's Called?

I have been Googling all night and haven't been able to find anything, so hopefully someone here knows what I've getting at:

I'm trying to find a PHP script or something that replicates websites and pulls content from a database, Let's take Young Living Essential Oils for example. A seller signs up and gets a free website. They pick a premade template, fill out a form with their name, bio, contact info, upload a logo, and other misc. details and click save. Now they have a full website and the only thing that changes is from the fields they filled out.

I would like to have that capability. A plumber needs a website, signs up, picks from a few great looking templates, fills out some fields on a form, uploads a couple of images and, boom, he has a plumbing website, no coding, no drag and drop, tightly controlled layout.

A lot of affiliate sites do the same thing, so what script or software are they using to accomplish this. Is it called a Database Driven Template Website or is there a better name for this?

Thank you for your help.

      Any suggestions? Most of the website builder scripts I find have too many options, drag and drop, etc. I need something where I designed a bunch of templates and have certain variables in this block or that block that fills in from information they filled out from a form. No controls over fonts, where images are, etc.

    In the world of Wordpress this is known as a multisite solution, it's been around for a while, and works just as you described.

    You need your own host.
    Create a single database
    Install WordPress
    Configure it to allow multisite setup
    Set a home theme
    Add a membership plugin if wanting members to join.
    Add some themes
    Add some plugins
    Enable registration with option to create free or paid theme
    User signs up, selects, and configures theme.

    I'm sure I missed a few steps but they'll be revealed as you learn more.
