I am not a programmer, but a designer. I created a static web site in Dreamweaver (CS4) and my client would like to be able to update a news page on his own. I have looked in to several CMS options and haven't found one that seems to fit my needs. Mainly, simple to set up, possible to set up and, preferrably, free to set up. Any suggestions? I'm all ears.

Thanks
