Valentin, Creating even a "simple" CMS system from scratch can become complicated because of all of the details that the developer needs to consider. Since you are a beginner, I would probably recommend a different solution. There are many open source CMS systems available that you could just install for them. I've done this for a few of my clients where a generic CMS was sufficient. It sounds like this may work for your client as well. I've used a few CMS's and suggested Joomla (formerly Mambo Open Source) to my clients. To me, it seems fairly simple to use to add or maintain content, but is well supported and it's functionality can grow as the clients needs grow. There are other CMS's out there like Drupal, PHPNuke, etc. I offer some CMS's (as well as many other types of apps) to my web hosting clients for free. Check your web host to see if they do the same. The client can install/uninstall/upgrade these apps through their control panel. This is another concern when using an "off the shelf" app...you need to make sure it is kept up to date (patches, fixes, etc.) to prevent opening up your client's web site to vulnerabilities caused by the app.
I've also developed a custom CMS from scratch for a weekly newspaper. They add/edit articles via an on-line WYSIWYG editor. There are many other sections like classifieds, bids, event calendar, etc. If you are still interested in offering your client a custom CMS, feel free to contact me off-list to discuss this in more detail.
