Best CMS system?

I'm considering programming my own, but I'm not really sure how to provide the full flexibility we need in the timescale (short) I have. :p

Here's the situation. One of our users needs to be able to edit several of our webpages. Right now, she does this through SSH + Pico, which makes for an ugly process occasionally, because she's not the world's best HTML coder. Most of what she needs to do involves <UL>, <LI>, and similar stuff: example. I'm looking for a way that I can redesign the site (new design), yet make it easy for her to be able to edit the content and presentation of some of the pages. I don't want her to be able to mess with the template -- just the format. Any ideas if there is a good CMS system for this sort of project? Or should I just make my own?

I would jsut make my own. The standard ones have a tendancy to be really generic, and it doesn't sound like you need something particularly elaborate.

I found one that is exactly what I wanted. I'll post my solution in a while, for those of you wondering; it's a hybrid between me programming my own and an existing "class" of sorts. It only works in IE (which is ok, since it is only required for one user), and provides a nice WYSIWYG interface for that particular user. The program I'm using is called SPAW, and it's pretty customizable.

I've also got it set so that other users who know HTML can just do HTML editing (in case the need arises) without the WYSIWYG interface. :)
