Not to promote Textpattern i rather advice clients not o use WP as a CMS but TXP or some other real CMS like Drupal. With TXP you have sections which make it deadeasy to set up a CMS assigning f. e. static content.
All software have their pros and cons. Though WP is – no question – a great blogging app; it is by nature no CMS. Why go through all the hassle with searching for the right plugins, hacking the backend and reading through pages of tutorials? Rather save your time and dedicate to learning a solid CMS.
