Google site vs wordpress created hosted site

For the techie people out there, (Please excuse any cross posting) I would like to create a new website for a small archive/collection (that our library has) that centers around the Newbery award winning author, Marguerite de Angeli. We had one previously (that was live when I started working here about 9 years ago) but it was on a server that died. We were able to salvage some of the pages and information from it. It will mostly be information about the author and her works but will include pictures of the collection and possibly pathfinder(s) for it also. I have the option of hosting a site through godaddy and using wordpress to create it or creating a google site. Has anyone created websites using wordpress and/or a google site? If so, do you have any feedback on creating, maintaining (etc.) websites with either method? Is one easier to use than another? Is either method unsuitable for this purpose? Is there a better but still cost effective option out there for this purpose? (Keeping in mind, that I had one or two webdesign and programming classes in college but I have not done anything since then.) I want to avoid creating a website with either method and discover that it can't do what I would like it to do, so I would be grateful for any feedback that you can give me. I can compile responses if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance, Janelle -- Janelle Martin Head of Fiction Marguerite deAngeli Library Lapeer District Library 921 W.
