REALLY crude CMS

[ryanhellyer]

I was reading through a post here on the Web Development Forum regarding a cms and it got me thinking ... what would I recommend to a newbie amateur designer who just wanted to create a very basic static website? When I started out, I learned how to use php includes and hacked in a crude wysisyg text editor and created a site that way. But that meant I needed to hard code in each page which would be no good if I needed someone else to add new pages etc. rather than just modify the existing ones. It would be a lot nicer if there was an incredibly simple CMS which could do the same job with a basic templating system.

Does anyone know of any EXTREMELY basic CMS's?

I usually use WordPress for creating these types of sites myself, as I can hack up the admin interface for non techy users to remove all of the blogging fluff that they don't need. However that's probably a bit much for a complete noob to do. And creating WordPress themes is quite complicated - albeit much easier than most other CMS's.

Any ideas/suggestions?
