I'm making a small site for somebody who basically knows nothing about computers, usually for people like him (... who can barely turn a computer on) I'd just do a static site and get him to contact me for changes, but he wants to be able to change it himself. :rolleyes:
Does anyone know of a lightweight CMS (free or commercial, PHP or ASP.NET) that is extremely easy to use (he only needs to be able to edit text / easily insert images). I've tried loads but they all seem too complex or limit you to having one 'block' of content per page so that severely limits how you can design the site, I need the CMS to work around the layout rather than having to design the layout around the limitations of the CMS.
The closest I came to what I was looking for is Wordpress (not exactly lightweight) with the pagely-multedit and use-role-editor plugins to allow more than one block of content and restrict the user permissions to just allow editing pages... but with those plugins it's a bit buggy.
Ideally I don't want to write my own so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
