That's simpler.

When I go to a bookstore, sometimes I need to check if a book I'm thinking to buy I don't have \
it already... ;-) So, the  web pages need to be consultable in a smartphone.

A static site is better and easier to do. The only reason to use a CMS software is to be able \
to render in a smartphone  display.

The interest of directly use the *.tc file instead of csv dump is that you don't need to do \
manual operations like  launching tellico, dumping it and launching an external script to do \
the job. If it's ok for you, why not ?
