    Actually yes... The ones you listed are nice cms systems. However, IMHO lack documentation... I use Mambo and would recommend it. I would be happy to walk you thru the complicated parts.

    I recently discovered Website Baker and while not perfect (no open-source CMS is even close to that), it is very simple and easy to use. Especially if you can skip the WYSIWYG editor and do HTML.

    Go to opensourcecms.com and browse through the systems there.

    You may do well with WordPress and use the plugin to have a static home page.

    WordPress is more of a blog, no?

    Yes but it has static pages and a great wysiwyg interface. Most sites need some sort of "news" section.

    If you're going to have hundreds of pages then you need a proper CMS but if you have a small site planned then WP will do the trick.

    Let me rephrase the question...

    Is there a CMS that doesn't show content on the basis of the date that it was created?

    All I want is a simple menu and a content area..something like this (without the news)

    Not really sure what you are mean. However, most CMS systems could do the site you linked too.

    Yeah, you can do that with Website Baker, which some one already recommended.

    Even easier to use is CuteNews (I know it says news, but it's easy enough to delete the bits that show the date and that). Available from http://www.cutephp.com/cutenews/ .

    Fantastically easy to use and integrate into a site.

    I have played around with many CMSs before and found Joomla! very good. If you give it one day you will be very comfortable with it. Not sure about documentation but if they do not have what you want you could look at Mambo documentation. They are pretty much the same system still. Joomla! is just a little flashier. You can turn off news dates, authors names, and most anything you want through your Global Configuration. Joomla! will do the job whether it is a small site to a large portal. Go to rockettheme.com to see some very great possibilites for Joomla! design. Personally, if Joomla! can't do something I need than I would consider if I really wanted to use a CMS at all. Just my opinion though. Hope that helped.
