One big app vs. cooperating apps: thoughts? advice?

[Cliff Kachinske]

I want a web site something like this:

Home page mostly devoted to marketing.

Menu at the top of the home page has links to, for example, a demo, my blog, other marketing stuff and a login link.

By logging in the user will get access to live applications. The menu will change to reflect the available apps.

I can do this with a single big application or I can create cooperating applications.

Does anyone have thoughts on the pros and cons of each approach? All comments gladly accepted. 

Thank you,

Cliff Kachinske

You would make different applications if they are supposed to be deployed individually and independently. Else you make a single app with difference controllers. If paces are to be user reusable, call those controllers plugin_<something>.
