I've been using WordPress (http://wordpress.org) for small, newsy
sites. It's basically a blogging app but is reasonably flexible and a
good community of people writing plugins and themes for it. Bit messy
(ask Tom) code-wise but realtively painless to get up and running and
to customise.

It's compliant as it comes and there are many themes available.
Back-end is client-friendly in my experience - I've left relative
techno-phobes alone with it and they've been able to use it
productively.
