The primary goal of this site is to allow potential clients find music or other entertainment for events.  The primary challenge was making it easy for non-techie people to add acts to the various categories without building a heavy application.  The data changes too often to have to hand edit the HTML, but not so often that the end user needs to wait for pages to be generated from a database for them display.

We stuck with pure HTML & the requisite JavaScript for the display pages.  The dynamic part of the site is built using a Perl script to generate the pages only when the data changes. The changes are handled through a small set of administration pages. When that set of updates are complete, the pages are generated and voile' — the site is updated.
