Build a blog from scratch or use wordpress ?

[dominatrix1]

We are discussing what we should do for our site where we need a blog. Some people want to build one from scratch but I thought this might take too long to get evrything working well and SEO optimised

Is it possible to use a wordpress theme customize it and plug it into our other site which we have built in ruby ?

the site is a piece of online estimating software for home improvement project and then we match you with some options of the best trade professionals in the area.

We will be blogging about current projects and completed projects - however we need the CMS to be easy to use which is why I thought wordpress. I just needed to know if it was easy to integrate ?

The site is quite complex which is why it had to be built in ruby
