I'm looking for a CMS for "brochure" style sites - maybe like 5 pages of content, static HTML.

Normally, this might be something that you just make static (HTML or PHP includes to simplify). However, what if a client requests a small site, with the ability for them to update/change as they see fit as opposed to hiring you to make updates for an hourly fee (a one-time fee vs. a variable fee).

Any ideas? And I'm looking for something simpler than Wordpress et al.

Create pages, upload images, edit the XHTML without having to know XHTML, but not mess with the CSS. Very basic.

Any suggestions? I've looked at www.opensourcecms.com with very little luck. Maybe it would be better to take an existing CMS from there and really break down the way it generates code to simplify the whole thing?
