HTML or CMS

For a small personal website I wrote my own, it still uses a database for dynamic content, needs no real security (for friends/family, htaccess for admin panel type). It was more fun writing it then anything else.

But if I was doing a "professional" site, or something that can potentially bring in money, with lots of users, would use existing (open source) products that are out there instead. It makes sense, as they will be far more secure and more efficient then anything I can write.
 
to port over *shouldn't* take too long. With Wordpress, I'd make your theme a child theme of twentyten (the current default theme, shortly to be superceded by, strangely enough, twentyeleven) and then any updates to that theme will be incorporated in your theme. Once a theme is up and running, you can tweak it and your content stays the same so you site can evolve over time.
