Trying to formulate some general (ie. broadbrush) rules of thumb which will help decide when to build a client's site from scratch with cake, versus using an off the shelf open source product.
Obviously, the two extremes are: 1. if the client needs a forum, CMS, gallery, CRM, Store, and his requirements meet the functionality of a stable OS product ==> go with the OS product. 2. if the client has totally specific needs for his own business processes ==> write from scratch with cake. I am more fuzzy on deciding the in-between. For example, say the client is a nonprofit with CRM needs, but the leading opensource CRM doesn't cover all the client's needs. In this case do you start with the opensource CRM and modify it - or write from scratch with cake? Some of the issues might be support, security, performance, cost, time to develop, end quality of code, etc.? Any comments on pros and cons and how you would go about deciding? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
