Hi jack the answer to this question isn’t as simple as it seems, There are hundreds of CMS systems and all have there strong points and all have there weaknesses… some things you may need to consider.
- how much of the content do you want your client to edit… for example do you want them to create new pages, or add galleries, adjust menus, upload individual images, adjust text and allow them to style that text or would you need to restrict them to just change the text content rather than the style of the text. Do you need to allow your client to change meta tags or description tags, will they need functionality of upload files, so their clients can download documents etc.
- how proficient are you with code, css and setting up a MySQL
- do you want to use a cms that already has a set of actions already written for freeway.
- do you prefer to use a proper database driven cms based around MySQL or will a flat file system suffice
These are just a few of the questions/considerations you need to think about before deciding which cms system is best suited for you and your client. Otherwise you may be committing to using an inappropriate system before you actually know what would best suite the individual project.
If you could write down the full set of requirement and how proficient you are and more importantly how technically savvy your client is, then I am sure the choice of cms system that would be most appropriate for the project, you and your client, would be quite a bit easier to narrow down.
Kind regards max

I want the client to be able to add pictures, create text and edit text, and add products to the store. I have little or no ability with code. And my client isn’t very computer savvy.

I would think a basic content management system such as WebYep would cover these bases. Just do a search for it on this site and you’ll get loads of pointers in the right direction.
There are other CMS’, but with my limited knowledge Webyep seems to be the simplest.

Hi Jack
ok that means the cms you will eventually choose has to be able to work with or include a shopping cart system of some sort
So the next set of question are
which e-commerce systems have you tried. again there are quite a few and they vary from blooming complicated all the way to very simple… lots of people have there favourites but it shouldn’t necessarily be down to that… it really should be what’s best for the client and his requirements… For example: will you need to be able to search for items from within the site / e-commerce section?
Sorry for asking more question but the more information you can give the better the answers you will receive… and Trevor is correct at the moment from What you have described WebYep would fit the bill… but so would Pulse or Perch… I would probably stay away from any of the biggies like Drupal, just because of the steep learning curve needed to implement these systems.

Once you’ve edited your website sitting on the beach with your iPhone in one hand, and a beer in the other, you’ll stick with Pulse forever (and there’s no need for mysql/databases) 
HOWEVER - Not suitable for webshops.

Jack, check out Ecwid. www.ecwid.com I just set up a store with it for a friend there and it was easy to set up and easy for her to manage.

check out Ecwid. www.ecwid.com
It may be that you end up with 2 systems in place.
Ecwid will give you a shop that is easily editable by the client while WebYep will handle the text and graphics.
