Very simple content management system?

I’m making a site for a this very simple website for a client. Its basically just a few pages with some basic text and images that doesn’t need to be updated too often. I hooked it up to CushyCMS for the time being and that has been working great so far. Now though he wants a news page that he can update easily, and he wants to be able to add pages himself, both of which are features Cushy CMS does not offer.

I was thinking of going with WordPress since I have experience with that, but it just seems like an ott solution for such a simple website.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
