I am looking for advise on how to do this.  I have a Python application
which creates a hyperlinked set of Excel spreadsheets, and Word
documents.   The entire set is stored on a CD and I distribute the CD
to client.  When they load the CD, out pops a introductory Powerpoint
slide and they hyperlink their way throughout the CD.  Works very well.

The problem is that the CD needs to be physically distributed (I don't
have the bandwidth for the client to receive the CD electronically -
and even if they do, I can't trust them to go and burn the CD
correctly).  Besides, I can only fit 600 to 700 M of files on a CD -
and some of the projects I am working on is starting to stress a
regular DVD.

So, I am thinking of doing this as a web application.  They only need
to look at things they are interested in, and no need to wait for the
CD to arrive.

Not being a full fledge web programmer, I find all these talks about
framework, Zope, Plone, Twisted, TurboGears, CherryPy, Pylons, Myghty,
Django, .... (plus 13 million other terms I am seeing on the web) very
intimitating.  I don't expect that there will ever be 1 million hits to
my tiny web site - just a handful from my clients.  They log-on, and
hyperlink their way of seeing what's on the "CD".  Obviously, I have to
do something before this can happen - they can't be running Office over
the web as they would on their local computer.

So, to all you experts, what's the simplist way to go about doing this?
