Hi Vincent, If all you need is static pages, it sounds to me like you may want to look at a static site generator like Pelican [1] or Jekyll. It makes it easy to set up a template-based site, but keeps the content statically generated (i.e., if you want to add a new blog post, you regenerate the whole site an upload it). You won't have any support for form processing or anything other than static pages, but it will get a no-frills site up quickly.
If it turns out down the line that you need form processing or dynamic content (i.e., content stored in a database generating pages), then you can look at converting to a Django-based site. Pelican uses jinja2 templates, so converting those template from a static generator site to a dynamic Django site shouldn't be too much effort. Of course, if you're looking for a learning exercise, it certainly wouldn't hurt to build a static site in Django. Whether that's worth the effort is entirely up to you.
