This will be a two part question.
First, besides being easier to update, are there any advantages to using a CMS for a website that won't be making alot of posts?
Second... I have a meeting with a client on Thursday to discuss this website. This is actually the second website I've done for him, the first being a WP blog. Now, it turns out, he wants a website for the same company I made the WP blog for a couple months ago. I didn't realize at the start of this that the blog and site were for the same company (different names... I don't know I'm confused by him). Anyways, he wants this site to be done in wordpress also. I've mostly finished a "mockup" with static html (mostly just layout and some color scheme and typography stuff) and I'm starting to realize that most of this content isn't going to change.... like ever. Since he has the blog, the only content that is going to be updated is a "recent news" section that will be the same posts as the blog. So going into the meeting thursday... I'd really like to talk him into letting me do this as a static site and use php to read in posts from his blog's rss feed into the recent news section. Can anyone see any major disadvantages to this plan? Also for bonus points, what do you think would be the best way to talk him into going for static html for this?
