Simple, Free CMS?

I need to develop a fairly large website that offers the client the ability to add / edit / remove content (text), and set certain changes to automatically take place on a given date. Single user.

That's all.

I'm trying to decide if I should use an out-of-the-box open source CMS, or just code one up using PHP and mySQL? At the moment, all the CMS i have seen (i've been looking at ) look either way too advanced and feature rich, or just crappy.

Can anyone suggest a simple CMS that accomplishes what i'm after, is easy to learn and flexible enough for me to fully customize the layout and navigation? Also i would like something that can be setup on an ordinary shared hosting account, so nothing that needs me to modify php.ini or have root access and stuff. I can use .htaccess and possibly SSH but i'd prefer something that can be installed just by copying some files and dumping some create statements into mySQL.

Any suggestions?
