Is WordPress the right solution?
Not always.
- Some websites don't need the features that WordPress provides.
- WordPress requires time and effort to set up.
- WordPress requires a database.
- WordPress is not flexible or forgiving -- you have to do things the WordPress way.
If static web pages meet your needs, and WordPress is overkill, go with static web pages.
WordPress can generate menus for you.
You can configure WordPress menus in a variety of different ways, for different purposes.
For example, it's common for a menu to automatically display all of the WordPress pages.
- When you add a page, a new menu item automatically appears for that page.
- When you delete a page, the menu item automatically disappears.
