[support] Another Drupal vs WordPress question

[Drupal]

I’m gonna maintain the site(s) (one point, if there is dozen of the similar sites,does it make difference?), CMS, do updates... but “they” will maintain the content.
Budget is low to nonexistent.
There is no cost difference which CMS I’m gonna select.
Some SEO work would/should be done, but not a decision making key.
Is the CMS necessary? I was thinking about to code by myself but it would take more time and it’s always security issue - that’s why is community for :-)

Thanks.

If it's a build and walk away situation, it may not be free for them when something breaks or the organization needs a design or content update. If the budget is low to nonexistent, what is the cost of Drupal vs. WP developers? Which are easier to find? For really basic stuff is a CMS necessary?

I use Drupal for almost 6 years but, still, I would put myself to "higher beginner" level. 90% of my websites are small, simple, intro websites I built for friends and "clients". Mostly with News, Basic, Events/Calendar, Webform, Forum... content types. Pretty standard.

If a small nonprofit asks you to build small website with some basic stuff, for free if possible, would you still build it on Drupal?
