I know what you mean. Have you considered hosted CMS's? (disclaimer: my
company is a hosted CMS vendor). Or something Open Source? Here are some
CMS resources:

http://www.hartman-communicatie.nl/content/tools.htm (shows approximate
prices)

on%20Service%20Providers (hosted)

Absolutely agree with your clients - forms just don't cut it :)

I've heard good things about Bitflux (http://www.bitfluxeditor.org/),
but it's Mozilla only and Xopus (http://q42.nl/) - check them out.
