If you have more than 10 static pages (or you want some menu hierarchy) I would suggest publishing those "static" pages using one of the CMSes available. Even though they are static they will probably change a little at times and a CMS is very helpful even when changes are rare.
There are a few CMSes built using CakePHP. Neutrino and Wildflower comes to mind. They work in slightly opposite ways in the way they integrate with your dynamic sections so try both and see which suits you best if you want the total integration. /Martin On Jan 12, 4:56 pm, Keith <kmedli...@gmail.com> wrote: > While it's definitely possible to do the things you're talking about > with CakePHP you might just want to take advantage of the Server Side > Include technology that HTML can do natively.
