I might indeed tell him to use wordpress, the hosted/managed solution. Good easy website wizard. But I would also and tell him to never ask me to install or modify a theme or a plugin, and strongly advise not to try building cart or any stuff that dosen't fit the "good easy website wizard" description. Otherwise, this is a developpment disaster waiting to happen.
