Of course, there is no simple answer and things are not black and white, but rather, multi-colored. However, there are a few steps that we should consider, which can help him turn towards the direction that is right at the aforementioned crossroad.

Firstly it very much depends on the essence of the business and then what the functionalities of this website should be. If the person would just like to list some information that looks good WordPress is more than satisfactory. Also, its ready-to-use themes, gadgets, and widgets can make the site very interactive, super-user friendly, and probably cheaper than the custom developed one.
