The 404 style design? It works ok actually! The only thing is, that if you use the actual 404 as the dynamic page, then you end up sending an error to the browser (even though it's an actual page) and so it gets very frustrating! In the end, what you want is a CMS that creates pages/directories when you need them and fills them with a single "default.cfm" (or whatever your default page is ie index.cfm etc) with a <cfinclude> or <cfmodule> to the template along with a unique page ID that comes from the DB... That idea works very well, although for big sites, you end up with a massive directory structure with lots and lots of pages in it! Maybe better to make sure that all your content is in a subdirectory (possibly called content?) and then it's all manageable! The thing that you then have to maintain is the CMS... And then for specific sections (such as shopping carts) you can do stuff like provide modules that fit into the templates... Again, it's a ground up solution, and one that I believe works very well, although documentation of the site structure, the db structure and the general idea of the site would probably be the most important thing.
