CI or CMSs?

Right. You shouldn't code something like a CMS from scratch, or even on top of CI, if you "hate coding" and have a reasonable deadline to meet. If you just want to learn along the way and you have that luxury, then there's no better way to go than diving in head first. Go for it.

What I mean by not "Web sites" is that, say the local barber wants a 5 page web site that he can maintain himself. It doesn't make a lot of sense to start with CI, because you'd essentially be writing a CMS. It would make more sense to start with a CMS and customize it as needed (and no reason that CMS couldn't be CI-based, I just don't know that there's a really good CI-based CMS available quite yet). If, however, your area Board of Realtors came to you and needed a site where they could manage their agent's profiles, create custom listings, schedule showings, etc, that's more likely to need a bespoke application.
