Thanks Rajesh and all. I haven't yet done anything with CakePHP, yet, for clients, so I figured I'd wonder out loud.
It makes sense to me to simply explain the facts of the matter to a nontechnical customer .. and after all, there really is no choice regardless, when you've been paid to deliver a quality application. A quality application should always be based on separation of the entities such as presentation/logic, etc.. whether it's CakePhp or anything else. Explaining the benefits clearly, behind using it, should immediately cancel out the doubts and make them feel even better about their choice to hire you. So a large part, I'd bet, is even preparing ahead of time, your own summary explanation of why a framework/CMS should be used. So you can deliver that explanation to them confidently On Apr 18, 10:26 am, "R.
