Do you find link managment easier in WordPress than in a HTML site?

Do you find link management i.e creating hyperlinks to other pages and sites easier in WordPress than in a pure HTML site?

I find WordPress makes it easier to monitor and manage links for a bigger site but HTML is easier for a mini-site. Do you feel that link management is one of the strengths of WordPress or are there any other platforms that you would recommend?

    I've found WP can be overkill if you're just running a mini-site - especially if it's a set-it-and-forget-it style site. That's a recipe for getting your WP install hijacked by spammers.

    Many of the benefits of using WordPress are best experienced with a larger site consisting of a dozen+ pages of content.

    If you have the technical aptitude, you could simply "roll your own" using a lightweight framework like Codeigniter (PHP) or Sinatra (Ruby).

    Otherwise you can look into the "lite" cms category on OpenSourceCMS to see if one of them fits your needs better. Many simply serve up static pages that don't require MySQL databases, etc. but still give you an interface to work with rather than raw HTML.

    Thanks for your replies . I agree WordPress does seem to make link management much easier. Link managment is one of the biggest hassles of HTML and and as you say unintuitive, I think for anything more than 12 pages WordPress is a good solution but for static "set up and leave sites" with a couple of pages I use HTML.

    OpenSourceCMs platforms look interesting as they use less resources and I will look into these.
