[kwlug-disc] Website management tools

[CrankyOldBugger]

I currently have my wife's website running on WordPress.  It's hosted on a
very cheap (i.e. free) provider that I got in under the radar, so to
speak.  I have two other sites with this same host. With the constant
barrage of security updates, site-related issues, and other WP annoyances,
I've decided that I no longer like WordPress.  So I've been shopping around
for an alternative.

All three of my sites are using WP, as a matter of fact, so I could
experiment on one of my own sites before I start messing with my wife's
site (as it's for her business).

I started these sites with WP as they really are simple blog sites, and
back in the day WP was actually fun to use.  Now it's a pain in the <place
where you don't really want pain>.

I was looking at Drupal but someone told me that it was very finicky and
needed constant fine tuning.

Her requirements are relatively simple:

1) Low maintenance for me (i.e. without the constant barrage of security
updates that I finally gave up on and now ignore regularly)
2) Some way for my wife to post new articles in a blog-like fashion from
her Ubuntu laptop or her Android tablet.  Please keep in mind that while
she's very smart, she wants something very simple and easy to use (and she
doesn't want to learn any programming).
3) We don't (at this time) need any ecommerce type stuff (we're not selling
stuff online), but we would probably be open to some simple tricks like
having a customer fill out a form with their contact information, that sort
of thing.  So HTTPS isn't mandatory (although it wouldn't hurt).
