CMS is dead!! Yes there is still need for it, but there is plenty of already mature and working solution out there. With the frameworks you can make much better than any CMS will never be able to do by developping a specific app that address the exact needs of your cusomers. For sure it requires more skills, but you should master what you do anyway if you are serious. For a serious cusomer 5K is a basic check in the Web. For this price a good developper can build something really good for the specific needs of the client using Frameworks. The resulting app will be easy to evolve database centric according to the need of the client. For others that only one page on the web there is CMS (WP, Joomla, etc.). But I think that trying to build a custom site with CMS as many are doing with plugins is a waste of time and money and only lead to a poorly secure web site. I had issue with WordPress and plugins in the pass and there is no way to know if a plugins is safe or not even if it is largely used.
I am not saying that creating a good web2py CMS is not useful, but maybe just use WP or Joomla with a custom app for client specific need in symbiosis is more money wise?? So you have best of both world...
