Simple CMS and Dreamweaver?

Hi, I am a graphic designer and i have recently gotten into web design. I am going to design a new website for a small business.

I would like to use Dreamweaver to make the site using HTML and CSS, and then use a CMS or something so they can update the text and images themselves. Is this possible, and does anyone know of an opensource CMS that could let me do this with Dreamweaver? I am not a coder, so I want something really basic that is very simple, easy to implement and use. It doesn't need any really complicated features.

And do i need to create some sort of login page so the people from the business can login and and make the changes?

I appreciate your help - I have never used a CMS before.

Unfortunately, nearly all CMS require coding knowledge to skin it. So you'll either have to learn a little bit of coding or hire somebody to do it.

Thumbs up Re: Simple CMS and Dreamweaver?

The answer to your question = Cushy CMS

I stumbled upon it the other day in my usual perusing of web blogs/forums.

All you need to do is know how to use classes in your site to define your editable regions. It is not exactly what I would consider full featured but if you're wanting your client to be able to edit content without messing up the site template than it's just what your looking for.

And yes, it's Free.
