Re: Question on a Basic Website for My Uncle's Business

Give some thought to Google Checkout Store. It uses a Google Docs
spreadsheet, easily maintainable by anyone with rudimentary spreadsheet
knowledge. You set it up originally, it gives you back a piece of HTML
to insert on any web page, and Bob's yer uncle, you have a fully
functioning web store. http://tinyurl.com/3rhtj8a

I happen to use NetObjects Fusion for web pages and I think highly of it
and how easily it gets attractive themes up and running in no time.

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?
