  Christine Hansen: If your website is going to be that simple, why don´t you just write your html5/css your self - this way the website would be really fast. As for SEO, read some beginners guides then come back for specific questions/problems. That or pay someone to help you set it all up. :-)

  Philip Rinaldi: Sorry to break it to you, but domain names are no longer a ranking factor. Therefore, just because you purchased domain with the long tail keyword, it will not automatically rank well. You need to make sure you have good on-page optimization (make sure you have h1s, page titles, etc. with your keyword). I`d highly recommend adding some content as well. Backlinks are the #1 ranking factor in 2020 - so be sure to do your research on building a good backlink profile.

  Stuart Dixon: A site with little or no content will only rank for a while if at all. Google ranks site that it seems best fit for the search term. If it can`t find enough context on your site it will ignore it or drop it after a while

  Michael Martinez: Working on the assumption that you`re creating a site for which there is a real need, WordPress is overkill based on your description.
  
  That said, if you want to show people how to use the script then use the WordPress to publish illustrative case studies in the form of "here is how I used the script to X".
  
  Theme shouldn`t matter, really. I would choose a light theme without too many extras.
  
  What will be most important for your success (in my opinion) is earning recognition from discussions on other blogs and forums. When I say "earning" I really do mean "earning". Link drops (spam) can sometimes push a site to the top but it`s not a sustainable technique and the more sites you abuse the more people who will choose NOT to help you in the future.
