How to disable posts and use pages only

I am new to WordPress theming and I would like to set up a Website that only has static content. Therefore would it make sense to disable posts and only use static pages? If so, is there an easy way to do that?

You can simply hide the posts menu by adding the following to your functions.php file:

function remove_posts_menu() {
    remove_menu_page('edit.php');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_posts_menu');
