Also, it depends on what you're trying to do. Over 90% of
Troubleshooters.Com is static information, so I do it as static HTML.
Most of the dynamic stuff can be done with a little simple hand-coded
Javascript with CSS. People are always trying to get me to rewrite
Troubleshooters.Com in wordpress, joomla, druple, zope, rails, django,
etc. Those are all nice if you're always on top of their security
aspects and be very careful of which addons I use, but with static
HTML, I get trivial backup, trivial deployment, and a website I can
transfer from one host to another with a tar xzvf. And the new webhost
doesn't need any special capabilities (except I still use a few
Perlscripts which I really should convert to something else).

I totally get using a <alert type="buzzword">CMS</alert> with a heavily
interactive site. But sometimes, simpler is better.
