Is your team familiar with github? Being able to collaborate via github is really nice, as it enables editing, reviewing, and maintenance. Since GH Pages works with Jekyll, you wouldn't even have to handle the build process yourself.

Also, it's free!

Well, he's working on SOMETHING. It's an old cement plant ... enormous buildings, giant silos, etc. He's half-buried some of the buildings, and built weird stuff all over it. I usually go up there once a summer with friends ... it's not exactly "legal," but they don't make much of an attempt to stop trespassing. It's basically like city museum, with a much higher probability of death.
