DotNetNuke - to do or not to do?

[Olavxxx]

Hi,
I got a new job now:
* New layout for ~8 static pages
* New design for ~8 static pages
* Implementation of forum

Am I right in thinking that implementation of DotNetNuke might be not much more time-consuming than this work?
I know it would give way more opportunities in the future.

Has anyone here installed dotnetnuke before and can estimate how much time will be used?

I have implemented a DotNetNuke portal on an Intranet site. My user base is around 1000 users, with about half of them being concurrent.

Setup time was very minimal, if you read the documentation and understand it. Depending on your understanding of .Net, IIS, and read through the documentation it shoudl go fairly quickly and smoothly for you. (if your not a novice.)

I would estimate it would take an experienced user under 4-8 hours to install, and get it up and running.

The forum support for DNN is fairly good also, so if you run into any issues most likely they can be solved quickly..
