I haven't used CMS on any of my sites
For a site with only a few pages, I find it quicker and more efficient just to duplicate the pages and enter the content myself. I also like the flexibility of being able to quickly define one-off styles and whatnot without being tied to a central framework.
Another consideration is that the host I'm using for my .nets is currently selling them for £1 for a year. They are really quick (and obviously cheap!) but the price I pay is that I don't get PHP/MySQL. Still, with 10megs and 1gig data transfer it's more than enough for a minisite.
As regards Wordpress -- I have installed it a couple of times and played with it, and to be honest it seems pretty feature-packed. With plugins and themes I don't really see what else you could want for a minisite.
That said, Scott made a post in the £1 thread (
http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/affili...html#post82191) about how Wordpress duplicates your front page, which is something to think about. Obviously that can't happen with static pure (X)HTML sites.
