Looking for a good, lightweight CMS for a website?

17 Jul, 2009  Joomla CMS Templates

I am looking for a *fairly* basic CMS to use for my website. I am fluent in HTML and CSS, but only a beginner at server-side programming languages. Therefore, I’m not looking for anything overly complicated.

My requirements are:

*Must be easy to create a template for – (I have a lot of HTML / CSS designs that I would just like to make a couple of edits too to make compatible)
*Must be free or open-source
*Must have a built-in upload function (mostly for article images)
*Must have the ability to update top and side navigation bars easily.

Of course, CMS solutions like Joomla! and Drupal can do all of this, but they are too bloated for what I need, and my client is not tech-savvy at all. I need something *fairly* easy to set up, and very easy for the end-user. Any suggestions would be looked into, and appreciated!

These are free:

    you know.. i often think about the worlds roaming far, far away from the sun down shadows and can’t help but to just recognize how beautiful yahoo answers truly is. it’s the sunshine of my highlights, and the plants far below the trees outweigh the most miserable PC issues dealt to humankind
