Need Advice Business Site (non-bloggy)

Hey there WordPress community.

I have been put in charge of putting a site up with basic information serving needs. Nothing fancy per-se. And being the WP lover that I am, naturally I want to use WordPress to build the sight.

Basically, I need advice on how to organize the information.

Currently, my thought revolve around using Single Pages for most of the content and only using Posts+Categories for sections like FAQ and News. That’s mainly due to the static nature of the information where the only dynamic aspect would be newly answered questions which only I add. And of course a section for the latest News, which won’t really be too often.

Based on the aforementioned information, I think the following aspects of WP’s CMS will not be used: Comments, Tags, Dated Pages, Archives

I think the RSS Feed will also barely be used except for a few die-hard readers that want to use their My Yahoo or My Google page to follow the site’s news.

Of the pages that will be served, will be:
– The Business Plan: might have some pages under it to break up the
Business Plan into smaller pieces.
– About Us section: also might have some sub-pages for things like
future plans and the company’s history
– Contact page: Will probably use one of the many WP Contact form
plug-ins for that
– Products: also with a few sup-pages for each product type.

As for the FAQ, it will most likely just be a bunch of entries based on the questions I have already received about the company. I was thinking of breaking the FAQ section into 2 or 3 sub-categories based on the nature of the Questions, but that may not be necessary.

Also the News section would probably be comprised of posts that a reader can access by going to the news category’s page.

If possible I would probably like to have a Latest or Most Recent section for each category to go into the sidebar. That way News can be chosen from the Latest News box and FAQ entries can be chosen from the Most Recent Questions box.

As I said before, I am hoping I can use WordPress to get the information served and the main obstacle seems to be organization of that information. Usability is key.

I apologize for writing such a long post. But the more information I can get out about my need, the better a respons and the better the documentation of that response for others to benefit from it.

So far i have been looking to use the “Salmon” theme by Justin Shattuck since it seems easy enough to edit.

I don’t have much experience customizing WordPress themes but I am sue with the little need of many WordPress features, deleting built-in features will be easier than uber-customization of theme code.

Thanks for taking the time to read this long post.
Also, I appreciate those that take the time to answer.

Peace..
