Is there anything out there that's easier for a novice to update, and add new content to, than Wordpress?

As with all CMSs there is a cut off point for client competence, below which it is not possible to use a CMS. This limit will be found painfully, and the fact that it exists will be your fault.

Build a custom CMS with fewer options to match your design & client's content. That way, no matter what they do, no problems. This of course costs significantly, more but well worth it in terms of control in the end.

Concrete5 is my favourite. A few QBN'ers use it.
Wordpress fucking blows.

Wordpress + Advanced Custom Fields. Use ACF to replace the normal wysiwyg editor with your own fields, so that the client is forced to input content exactly as you want it, and the ability to fuck it up with random formatting is eliminated.
- Yup, plus you can learn the functions.php file action to setup some custom post types too, for even more ease.mantrakid

easier than wordpress to update???
just dick around with it, and don't get frustrated, you'll get used to it quick,
just be careful with what template you use, some bad developers make templates that are a pain in the ass when it comes to doing even simple updates.

Make a contact form on your site that says, "What would you like to update?" and has an input field. Then you just secretly update the site yourself and charge them $100 a month for the world's easiest CMS.
