Mike,

I'd start with Wordpress or Joomla, and then integrate your applications later. What I have done is left the applications stand on their own, with links from inside the CMS, thus avoiding the integration issues with the CMS.

Okay, this isn't "400 related", but am looking for other web experts
opinions.

My uncle wants a website for his tractor repair business. In all honestly, a
couple HTML pages and it could be written and done. However, me being me, I
want to plan for the long-run. Would it be worth me taking a bit more time
and create it in WordPress pages so it would be easy to make changes (maybe
even have him make the changes) or would you keep it simple and just do
basic HTML pages and I would have to make any changes he would want in the
future.

I am leaning towards a core PHP framework in HTML5 (to keep design away from
content) and basically keep most everything static. But like I said, I can
see the benefit of a CMS.

What would you do?
