---- changing site from proprietary code to off-the-shelf cms

I've done things like this several times.

Choose a CMS where you can import content from spreadsheets (e.g. Feeds module for Drupal).

Use a script to either extract content from the DB or scrape it from the site, whichever is easiest.

Format this for import (ie aggregate it into a .tsv spreadsheet)

Import the content into the new CMS.

I've also imported content manually via SQL statements (with an early version of Drupal 7) but it's a massive headache.
