Hello,
I am in need of a Content Management System for clients to be able to edit their static websites.
This content management system will be ridiculously simple.
It will:
-Allow me to fully incorporate it into my design. That means all I need is a line of code to put where I want content.
-Have an admin panel that basically consists of a list of pages, which are then editable by the end user.
Am I best off just writing this myself? Or is there something out there already? I don't feel like reinventing the wheel if I don't have to.
Better off writing it yourself. If you've already got a design, it takes just as long to customize an existing CMS to match that exactly.

At least RuubikCMS has the approach you requested: just a line of code where you would like your content to appear:

There is also a live demo where you can see the admin panel. End users can have only the Pages tab visible so the other tabs are not confusing.
If you need any help, you can ask it at the RuubikCMS Forums (http://www.ruubikcms.com/forum).
Best regards,
RuubikCMS developers

Why not just use something like WordPress?

I use Simple CMS (http://www.phpjabbers.com/simple-cms/). It allows you to create the content and then link to it via a simple php script. My clients are all non-technical and find it easy to use. Good luck.

Hi,
I suggest you to use the wordpress as the CMS. It can be easily deploy into your domain and manage from its admin panel.
You can also gets help easily on any issues and modifications.

Hello,
Although, word press would be sufficient for majority of people in this situation if at some point your needs become more complex it might not be sufficient. You might tell me that wordpress has many plugins. This is true. However, one should never forget that that Wordpress was invented to address the needs of Bloggers.
I suggest that you use a well known open source cms such Drupal because this will help you out with any future developments as Drupal like systems are well-known and supported by the programmers all around the world. Whereas the custom cms you will right might be full of bugs and you would be ultimately responsible from fixing all those bugs. It will take a bit of time to theme your cms but it is well worth the effort.
Good luck!

You could try DotNetNuke, it is free, opensource, .Net based if you're used to using that. It is relatively simple to setup and you should be able to convert your design into a skin for the site. But as a previous poster it will take you just about as long to customize a cms as it would be to write something yourself. However once you do get the hang of one of them you shouldn't have a problem. There is also Joomla which I have not used and that is PhP based.
