I have head very good things about silver stripe http://www.silverstripe.com/home/ This is an open source cms writen in php which you are able to cusomise and manipulate.
Simple. Intuitive and user-friendly Flexible. MVC framework Scalable. From 1 page to a million Fast. As responsive as a desktop app thanks to native Ajax support Standards Compliant. Fully XHTML compliant Modular. Easy to extend Template Freedom. No restrictions on the look and feel of your site Open source. It's free in every sense of the word! (BSD) Cross platform (Windows/Linux/Mac) and easy to install (PHP based Robin I'm surprised no one has really commented on Joomla! I've read the feedback and reviews on Joomla and not only is it free and open source CMS, you're able to customise and add extensions as appropriate for your client. Check out the demo at: http://demo.joomla.org/ Joomla! 1.5 is suppose to be out soon but the beta version is available to play around with. This company (http://www.compassdesigns.net/) solely provides clients with Joomla! CMS sites.
