There's 2 simple CMSs which may fit your needs better than Drupal. Firstly look at phpsqlitecms. It's almost trivially simple, the data base is part of it so install & admin is easy. It's not a full featured CMS but it works as far as it goes. Here's a little thing I knocked up for a friend http://www.asstec.co.uk.
Dick,
I'll look more closely at phpsqlitecms. I really like the wry humor on the accounting site you set up. :-)
The other one I like is cmsmadesimple. This is more conventional but again is not fully featured but great for simple sites. Here's what another friend did with it: http://www.johnchivall.co.uk/
This, too, will get a thorough look.
My experience with websites in a box it that they're not awfully good, but worse, you get trapped into their web hosting and domain management. If you find don't like like them you've got a hassle extracting yourself and starting again.
Very true.
Thanks very much,
Rich
