Re: Question on a Basic Website for My Uncle's Business

Its one thing to sign up and spend 5 minutes tweaking some design
parameters. Its another thing to create an actual site with content.
People could make the argument that using Wordpress is even easier because
it takes less than 5 minutes....

I still think that hand coding would be best at this point. If he needs
to move to a CMS later then he can pay someone to turn his site design
into a template and move the content. It wouldn't take too long with a
simple site with only 4 or 5 pages to move the content. Gotta keep the
scope in mind and his scope is very small. It will also save a bunch of
resources if he is serving from his own machine...static content uses far
fewer resources than generated content... And if the site is very likely
to remain the same for months at a time then he can set nice long caching
headers that will mean even less "serving" for repeat visitors.

Nothing fancy, but it is a web site built from one of the drupal garden
templates in 5 minutes :-)

For Mikes purposes this could work nicely. They had one for building out
a product page.
