Can I use WordPress to build a site with simple, hierarchical pages?
Yes. Once you have installed WordPress, go to your WordPress administrative page. In the WordPress admin menu, click Write and then in the submenu click Page. Create as many pages as you wish. You can make any page the subpage of another by specifying the Page Parent in the controls below. In the admin menu, click Settings, and in the submenu, click Reading. In the Front Page Displays section, select “A static page.” In the “Front page” menu, choose your desired homepage. At the bottom of the screen, click “Save changes.” This page is now your WordPress homepage.
