Yes. And fragile, and . . .

It's easier (and I believe better) to toss the whole thing and start
with something sustainable.

That would be easy. Link to that HTML from where, though?

We had a webmaster working on a complete re-write, with a completely
custom interface that *damn* looked good and was really quite neat. Gave
a good feel for what Window Maker on the desktop is like. That project
grew and grew until it got too large.

Using something off-the-shelf, like MojoMojo, Trac, RedMine, Drupal, the
list goes on, alleviates the development time problem, but does present
others. Namely, the themeing and the content migration.

I'm asking for two things:

1) Recomendations for a decent CMS. I've not used many/any so anything I
   pick would be at random.

2) Help with content migration.
