As it turns out my client has re-considered and started the project up again, but I don't think it is because he is fully convinced of my arguments. He is also someone I know fairly well and I do a lot of business with him outside of web design for my other business, which is rental properties. I think he felt a little guilty about shoving me aside when I have thrown so much business his way over the last year or two.

However the issue of toolbox or DIY solutions are always going to be an issue. Some people simply want "a web site" a good one is optional. Sad but true. I guess you make a good case for why you shouldn't do it and then let the chips fall where they may.
