<p>For 'ultra-simple' sites, take a look at Weebly.com. They do not allow custom scripts, but they do have built in support for many of the things you mentioned. It is a free service that has a very reasonably priced paid version available. Worth looking into if nothing else. You can use your own domain name there as well, just like wordpress.com and blogger.com.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Best of luck with your project!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>This is what I thought - but I just wanted to make sure that wordpress.com wasn't hiding the plugin setup somewhere (or had an alternative approach).</p>
<p>For another web site, I have WordPress installed on the server and I see how to configure plugins (and do forms, etc.). But these non-profit guys want to save some money and thought they could just forget a web hosting service and just use wordpress.com.</p>

<p>Oops, I Just noticed you mentioned WordPress.COM instead of WordPress.ORG. The plugins listed above will not work with .COM, nor will you be able to include custom PHP scripts there.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you have your own host (like HostMonster, HostGator, etc.) you can install the self-hosted WordPress package from WordPress.ORG and use the plugins mentioned. The .COM or hosted version may not be able to accomplish what you're looking to do.</p>

<p>Hi Barbara,</p>
<p>Wordpress is very capable of everything mentioned. </p>
<p>As for the forms, check out <a href="http://www.gravityforms.com/" target="_blank">GravityForms</a> as a paid solution or any of the open-source plugins available.</p>
