I’m designing a site for my church and am pretty well versed with PHP/MySQL/Apache whatever… What I want to do is have the content in a database and display it in its respective location in the template using PHP.

I’m looking to do the layout in CSS and am asking for the forum’s input / criqitue on my proposed method of delivering the content.  
**[color=Red]  
Two Questions:[/color]**  
**1. Should I use a pre-packaged CMS or build my own?**  
[size=1][color=DarkOrange]Database requirements are: Member Table, Events Table, Articles, Photo Gallery @ the minimum.[/color]  
[/size]  
**2. Is CSS best suited for this application?**
