Did you talked about frameworks with them? I mean, if you noticed that their productivity and quality is behind wat you experienced with a framework, you can try to introduce the idea. Otherwise, you may try some open source framework (if MM is our of budget) and customize it into your own, thus not having to start from scratch.
