Our requirement though will be to either translate the Wordpress theme (already designed) to CKAN, vice-versa is not an option, and I wonder which is more effort: having Wordpress basically display the basic info on datasets from (for sake of argument) a CSV file, or adapting the CKAN dataset display to match wordpress.

One thing that hasn’t yet been mentioned (that I’ve seen) is to not use two products, but maybe to consider using ckanext-pages:
