My friend running web agency here in Croatia is complaining to me that many customers just want modified generic WP template and that's all and not ready to pay for more than few hours work modifying the WP theme. Now I wonder what to do in a case when a) I'd like not to combine PHP technology with web2py b) there is no web2py-powered CMS providing features similar to e.g. some PHP solutions c) not having (yet) skills to roll my own CMS ? In general, one starts by creating static design using some CSS framework. Then, depending on the customer's needs, I could leave the site as it is or convert design into some CMS enabling easy adding/editing of the content. The option which I am considering lately for my own purpose is to use some python-powered static-site-generator. When the need arises to add some interactive/dynamic features to the site, static-site-generator and/or plain static site is not good-enough. So, the question is how to start building web2py-powered web site which should start e.g. as simple brochure site onto which one can further functionality by writing small apps in web2py? Do you all write some kind of CMS allowing to add larger portions of static text/media which make the major portion of the site or do you combine smaller web2py apps with something else? What do you think about e.g. building web site via some static site generator and then write web2py handling some dynamic aspects? How is e.g. added/edited content to the web2py.com site itself? Manually?
