I prefer developing in ruby/rails. I just put this site up on my small linode because I didn't need to do anything dynamic with it. The linode was already configured for PHP so I was lazy and just went with that. Might move it to Heroku after this and perhaps change it to a small sinatra site.

Why not static HTML files? I can't find anything on your site that justifies server side processing and in this sense you might be over-engineering. This is your call, though!

Your site is currently a three page site and while I appreciate unrolling would cause a little bit of code duplication, I wouldn't say it's enough to lose sleep over. In fact, you could just make it into a one page site, which might be a perfect fit for what you're trying to achieve.
