The trouble is that probably everybody on this list could do that, but 
we don't, according to previous posters, have anyone with the design 
skills to make it look well-designed and attractive (which was how we 
got into this conversation).  If you do have the creative graphic design 
skills to make the site good-looking, then that's great.  As long as we 
don't want to make changes very often (now or ever in the foreseeable 
future), such that maintenance becomes a problem, then your solution 
would be fine.

Of course, if we're actually not bothered about the looks of the thing, 
then again, as you say, just a few static pages would be fine and a 
volunteer to look after them.

BTW, maintaining a static WP site is much less onerous than maintaining 
a bunch of static pages and associated CSS.  In my opinion, of course, 
but I do have a lot of experience of many different types of web 
site/web application.
