Skip db and try a static website generator like Hugo or Pelican (python).

Do NOT use Wordpress unless you just want to torture yourself.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of static website generators. Did some googling. Would this limit my website in some way? For example, would login functionality be unavailable since everything is preloaded?
I guess this could limit you on using a DB... but if the data you have is relatively static, or your site doesn't need to modify that data static generators are an awesome simple way to make complex sites
