Use CF Framework for mostly HTML site?

Try Wheels. I love it and think you will also. Straight view pages would be easy with the convention. http://cfwheels.org/docs/1-1/chapter/beginner-tutorial-hello-world

Thanks for the input.  So it sounds like it's not a big deal if I use CF and Mach-II.  There just won't be much of a model layer.  I was worried about the site being slow because of the CF processing, but there won't be much CF processing so it should be pretty fast.

Thanks,

Ben

In cases where I have a mostly HTML site with very little interaction with a

Model layer, I just focus on breaking up the site with Custom Tags.

I find this helps me keep the HTML consistent and to find any markup bugs.

It also helps me focus on the content, when it needs to change.

Here's an example of how I structure a page:

Welcome to Clark's Liner Farm.

We are a full service nursery, liner farm and propagator. We sell wholesale

nursery liners, potted liners, rooted cuttings and starter plants from 2

¼" 32 to 2 gallon pots.

We specialize in hard to grow varieties and our greenhouses are often full

of Nandina, Cephalotaxus, Abelia, Spriaea, Green Giant and Viburnum.

Clark's Liner Farm is a family run operation with a combined 26 years of

experience in the nursery and landscaping fields. Both Matt and Debbie Matt

are North Carolina State University graduates with degrees in Horticulture.

Hi,

Since its a HTML site, my advice is don't complicate your tasks too much. You can simply split your code by making a directory hierarchy like,

Your_application

                    |_   css                  

                    |_    images

                    |_    templates

                    |_    documents

But, if you see possiblity of some CF inclusion in your site in near feature, better go for some CF specific frameworks like Mach-II (your favourite one).

HTH

If the site requires a login, you need a mechanism to only let users see pages they're allowed to see. You can't really do that with HTML alone.

However, generally, if content isn't dynamic you might as well put it in HTML files.
