Discs might be fine but good luck reading one with your kids iPhone.
Yes sure there are probably arcane ways to do it (and your 25 year old CD drive is probably going to die before the discs, assuming you still have a computer that it can connect to...IDE anyone?), but is the OP trying to archive their works, or are they trying to make them easily accessible? They say they want a website so I guess they want something simple and easy to read, and not some equivalent of a dusty archive box locked away in a storage facility somewhere.
The worse thing is calendar/schedule. Many crawler tries to load every single day, with day view, week view and month view.
Those pages are dynamically generated and virtually limitless
to some degree this alphabet soup brands are a direct consequence of well intended but not well working Amazon policies :/
Not only did Amazone more or less force all the OEM/White label seller to pretend to be "proper brands" instead of just being honest, it also made them realize that they can use this to doge all responsibility and most reviews and has not done anything (working) to fix that situation (or other problematic situations on it's side). To make that worse even if you search for "<brand> <product>" the first results might be from random cheap copies of companies which branding is all just a hollow make pretend, further pushing off brand clones. Amazone really does a bunch of harm in not so obvious ways in addition to all the more obvious issues :/
--------
Some clarifications:
- I'm not speaking about brands which pretend to create their own product but sell OEM, I mean companies which very obviously sell OEM
- I also don't have an issue that when searching for "<brand> <product>" I also get off brand alternatives, I have an issue with this alternatives being multiple of the first search results in combination with the intentional UI design of all sellers "looking the same" (as in you have product images but no seller theming/branding on product pages), in combination with the oft not so grate product "sheet" etc. That lead to Amazon effectively deceiving people (especially older ones) into buying products they do not want to buy. (E.g. a cheaper but very unreliable clone of a product instead of the more expensive but for the customer very affordable original product, and yes, sometimes the clones are better then the original, most times not).
To add to this, this is probably due to Amazon Brand Registry which promotes products from brands with a trademarked name. The sellers only care about the brand so far as it's trademarkable. Mashing on the keyboard is the simplest and quickest way to make that happen.
I bought a unique product that didn't have any branding in the pictures, but when I got it, it had their brand on it. The seller said that is due to Amazon's branding policy. Stupid policy.
> but you can't find any meaningful review because they are white labels
Which is one of the reasons they exist. You fortunately for more commons stuff have the original manufacturer+product name which gets rebranded into alphabetsoup as soon as it get's popular. If you can figure out the original name, or if it's advertised as, you can maybe lookup some reviews. Otherwise: stay away, but normal consumers tend no to know that because "it's on amazon" (or equivalent).
According to charts at those time, average CD-R can last 30-50 years and these 24K Gold CD-R are designed to last 100-300 years.
