The video files are the biggest ones, obviously... but if they're also
hosted on a major service like YouTube, or the like, you could just put
the originals in a password protected location where those who need to
access the full versions can and the rest of us can watch them on YouTube.

I'm a huge fan of WordPress, myself, and something like the "Download
Protect" plugin or another downloads manager might be useful.

Personally, I'd simplify the site into a WP install then set the 404
(not found) error page to point back to the main page or page with an
explanation of the move.

I can imagine.  This winter has been a financially rough time for me as
well.  I'm running on not much more than my wits and computer skills to
rebuild and redefine my business.

I certainly hope so.  I plan on making it a good one.
