Are your 'folks' looking for a content management system, Karen?
As Mark just mentioned, CodeIgniter is a web application development framework
-- that is, a set of reusable programming code that makes it easier for
programmers to build applications for the web. The key terms there being

It seems to me that WordPress would be good for the simple and lightweight
part of their website. It would allow them to easily create, delete, and
update pages for the site. Plus, if they have press releases or other types of
newsy content, WordPress is a second to none for blogging. But
