That's what I've done in the past.

The downside is when you wanna upgrade or modify the site. Another coder doesn't want to work on it. They want to do it from scratch since one coder doesn't like working on another's code.

Since most coders and designers flake out. I end up not having the same coders 2-5 years later when I need mods. Some go back to being the fry cook. Some end up being too busy and have their own business to run, and back logged for months, others you do not want touching your shit any longer.

If you could find one, good, reliable, solid coder who would be around for a long time. Then you, or I, would not have issues on a long term custom build CMS. But history, and experience has shown me the other. So... I am trying to find a main platform that is easy enough for another coder to come in and work on should I need that. Frankly, I get tired of the "I do not like working on another's shitty code" argument.
