I strongly agree here. It may very well be that the use of PHP, or a CMS 
solution, or some other tool would offer helpful ways of organizing the site 
in a more useable and maintainable fashion. If you know of some reasons why 
you think this is the case, please offer them up to the group.

I don't work much with PHP or CMS solutions, so neither of these is at all 
obvious to me. I suspect that even if I was very familiar with either 
approach, I would still like to see why someone thinks that they are 
particularly fitting to address a specific problem.
