Notepad ! why would you bother?

i'm going to assume you mean creating your own custom CMS from a blank page?

if so yippee as i get soooo many clients who have been SOLD custom CMS's and can't work them or everytime they need something done its a massive charge as all you have is a company that you have to keep going back to whereas wordpress etc you have millions of people working on making them better.

I've used 'CushyCMS' on a client's site in the past. From what I remember it was fairly easy to set up and allows the client to edit their site, even if it was not originally set up on a cms.

You could also check out Open Source CMS Demos (good for user reviews and links to CMS demo pages) and CMS Matrix (good for comparing the features of each CMS).

just got off the phone to a new client who i setup a WP website with blog, i showed him how to log in as a member ( not admin) so he has restricted left tabs.

i said "on the left you will see POSTS, roll over that and it says ADD NEW, then just create a title and write your post"

his reply " I think we need something simpler then that " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just replied " over 50million people use it succesfully every day, its as easy as it gets "

You could make it simpler by removing everything in the panel screen options except quick post and do a URL forward to there using a URL like dn/whatever.
I have also found that using a plugin to replace the WP with the clients brand name on the panel makes it less intimidating.
Eliminate the login step as it will prompt login anyway
