I have this situation quite often,

Depending on the needs and your own judgemnt, joomla or wordpress

Joomla sites should be set up and the user should be given a slightly restricted acount. Not super admin but moderator ?

This restricts them from the setting areas and uploading plugins , reducing security risks while still allowing them to upload and publish content as needed

I would suggest you

Often a new CMS will be vulnerable to hacking and exploits, unless the developer understands security.

Since most are based on PHP/MySQL new CMSs are prone to SQL injection and other attacks.

We have seen in this forum how a CMS can be insecure.

The standards, WordPress and Drupal are tested and secure (I have seen nasty hacks on Joomla)

I generally use Drupal, but unless you need all of its features and fine-grained user control etc it may be overkill and difficult to learn quickly.

Many prefer Joomla! for an easier learning curve and admin, however it is inferior to Drupal IMO.

As Megan already suggested, WordPress is a good suggestion for a blog-style site (with many plug-ins available to extend its functions)

I understand it can be confusing to wade through the demos at oppensourcecms.com

Here's another kind of CMS showcase with live sites categorized by what CMS they use, perhaps it can help you narrow down your choices

Sorry there are so many of them... I do not know what to think.

Are there a few CMSs that could more specifically fit the bill: create a website with pages (not articles) that can be easily updated by a non expert? Thank you.

Open Source CMS has a good collection installed and running so you can try them and compare...

Wordpress might be a good solution. There are quite a few other small open source CMS solutions available now. It would be a good idea to install and play with a few to see which one you think would work best.
