  Old  I really need your advice.

Im asked to do a website like http://www.bennyhinn.org & I have 2 days to give them an answer.

The website has 4 lanugages, huge content (hundreds of articles, photos, prayers, testimony...)
The website will be updated weekly.

Now the advice I need is, what language to work ?
So do you think HTML is a good idea?

A friend told me about PHP-Nuke, but I guess its not very costumizable like HTML.

I'd either make a PHP/MySQL CMS or an XML run site. I'm leaning toward XML. You just make a simple XSLT file and just add XML files as you go, nice and easy and way easier(not to mention quicker) then making a CMS.

The only real option you have is something like phpnuke or another cms, it will allow you to add/update and modify the information easily. If the site has hundreds of articles then creating this site will take a very long time, especially if you do it manually using html.

Use a dynamic server side script based CMS.
I don't know about phpNuke though...they have had some VERY serious bugs in the past. Maybe you could look through freshmeat.com for other good CMS's

I've always gone the custom CMS route. You get the exact functionality the client is looking for. Their pretty easy to write.. And you UNDERSTAND how it's working... So, when the client comes back in 2 months and says, "I want to alter the way this looks.. I want to add a repeating ad at every sixth paragraph..." You can do it.. With the 'product' CMS's you can't (or it's really difficult) to be that flexible.

I vote Mamo. It'll get you up quick and gives you a lot of room for growth.
