I used to work for a sporting goods company. I was pretty good friends with a girl that worked in the Marketing department and we were discussing the ways in which the company distributes images to various resellers. I was amazed when she told me that they just zip up the files and send them through email, sometimes in multiple emails as the images were large in size. I told her that we needed to get a website created that we could just post the images to that would allow for each reseller to go out and download whatever images they wanted. We found a free solution to this issue through Microsoft Office Live. It’s been a few years now and the website is no longer cutting it. It’s a HUGE pain to update and the customization options for the pages is extremely limited. I’m actually embarrassed at how shitty the pages look. There’s a new person in that position at my old company and I think that I might have been successful in convincing her to go with a new site. Good news for me!
Here’s the question… Do I use a WordPress install to solve this website issue or go about it the old fashioned way (pure HTML coding)? I guess there are pros and cons to both options. I think WordPress would be easier but HTML coding might offer more in terms of options when it comes to customization, etc. Anyone have other ideas or thoughts?

I’d personally go with wordpress because you could update a lot easier.
HTML makes it tough to update…and practically impossible to teach non-computer nerds (like you) to update.
There are quite a few options with WP…it doesn’t have to look like a blog.
That’s just my opinion.
