Try building off of a wiki.  If you don't give everyone rights to edit
the site, you end up with a nice simple content management system for
most websites.

I've been using wiki as my architecture for content management, and it
has been very helpful.  It seems like many content management problems
can be expressed as a derivative of a wiki.
