But let me guess at his reservations -- from what I understand, he has a 
system that works now and is mostly automated, generating most of the 
html automatically using ddoc.

So if I were Walter I'd be leery of the situation where someone spends a 
  week making a great website, drops it and a hundred files of whiz-bang 
PHP/CSS/perl/javascript code in my lap, and then disappears.  The good 
thing about the current system is that Walter understands it completely 
because he wrote it.  That means that when something goes wrong, or he 
urgently needs to make the D2.0 pages purple, he knows how.

So the question is: is there some way you can overhaul the website that 
won't force him to change his workflow?

At least I'm guessing that's what he'd want to know.  :-)
