From a personal point of view (I'm a newbie btw!)
I would say either Wordpress or Joomla. You will need HTML and CSS knowledge for both and you will be tinkering very lightly with PHP too.

If you want something that can do anything with modifications (sometimes easy, sometimes very painful) go for Joomla, it can even back itself up if you install the right mods so really good piece of mind. If you want good SEO in the most part and general easy useability from the start try Wordpress. If it came down to it I'd say Joomla, but I fully agree you will spend a few months learning the basics... and yes you always have the 2% you're not sure of even if you know everything before you install that last mod!

Best Of Luck,
Baz

1) Simple for the client to update, if they can send mail or use Word, they should be able to update content or create new pages.
2) Very SEO friendly. Needless to say, I know, but indexing by Google is a must.
3) The web sites will initially be simple affairs with a few pages of information and a web form. It should be easy to add more services in the future.
4) Possible to administer all sites centrally? I would love to have the ability to add, for example, a newsletter service to all my client from one button click!
5) Easy for me to control user and group permissions.

I haven't used any CMS in the past and I'm currently looking at CMS Made Simple CMS Made Simple - Welcome to CMS Made Simple - an open-source CMS. Anybody used it before?
Looking forward to hearing your views.
Thanks,
Bearaman

Hi There,
we are recently launch our own CMS with web designer access. This is a system we have building over the years for our clients so it is really built with the client in mond, making this simple for them and easy to use but it is also very powerful with the ability to grow to much larger sites and with a control panel for you in order to determine which area the client can access etc.
If you can design a web page without CMS then this is all the technical knowledge you need, integrating is very easy to do.
You can view more info on our site at www.flocms.ie
You can contact us from the site for pricing etc if this is of interest.

Wordpress way is better because it's very simple and easy to use. It has a lot of more themes.
