In every project but one that I have been involved with where there is 
an existing site which they have wanted to migrate to the CMS, they have 
ended up thrashing the site completely and redoing everything from 
scratch. Only one did indeed transfer the content.

Get a CMS, and redo the whole thing from scratch. It will be faster and 
cheaper.
