How would I go about finding out what platform a site is using for design?

    Name of the thread says it all.
    I can basically tell a CMS when I see it and there are plenty of sites out there that have info about the build on the bottom, but not all of them.
    Any ideas how I could find out what someone is using for their site?

    I've found that if I can't initially tell what CMS they're using and it isn't listed anywhere that it's probably a custom solution.

    Yeah I went through the source code looking for some tell-tales, but so far nothing.
    It may be custom. Not sure.
