I would like to suggest the same as Nathan did. We have not used it. But, in our evaluation, we picked it up as very keen candidate. Because we changed our scope, so we finally went to high end product. Otherwise, in the low end Ektron is very user-friendly and simple.
another cheaper one is OpenCMS for free. But it's not supported and it's open source product.

It's a very simple web-site content management tool and I think it's somewhere in the US$500 area. I used to work for a distributor of it (last year), and we always had happy customers (Disclaimer: I have no particular association with them now, but I was a pre-sales consultant for it at one time!). Keep in mind that it is not anywhere near an "Enterprise CMS" - it doesn't manage highly-structured information. It's a good simple tool for relatively simple web sites - as long as that's what you're after, then I think it's a sensible offering.
