Joomla is a free open source content management system. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is well worth in, if not now for the future.

if you're looking for a cms for your client (which there are hundreds ... literally) just goto http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ and do a search for the features you really want/need in the script.

Also, if you were looking for simple ... zimplicit, movable type, and wordpress are always good for doing sites. Also look into certain things like using twitter for blog updates (just a javascript api you can customize with css) and integrating lesser blogs into site (kubeblog is rather good for that) But i almost always recoment joomla if the person wants to be able to dynamically add/remove pages and/or content ... takes some getting used to ... but it's worth the effort and no real html knowledge is needed since it's a cms meant for publishing.
