Creating local content for web

I am looking for better ways to create locally produced content for our
website.  Currently we can't mount any database driven functions on our web.
That will change after our computer center people get more training.  I am
looking for a free or cheap database program that can be used to eventually
create such content.  I am finding that Access is too complicated and
requires too much in the way of programming skills.  I am after something
that can be used now to create static pages that we will then move to the
webserver.  Access will create static pages but when a report is exported to
the web each record from the database is made into a separate web page.  I
want the ability to create a single file.  Any suggestions?  The content we
have is lists of resources as well as more substantial projects.
