A lot of people who run Wordpress have clients who need a nice, easy user interface to be able to update their site. Do you have any suggestions for software that fulfills that need and is "secure, not bloated and easier to develop with".

This is clearly opinion, and should be taken as such, but I absolutely loathe Wordpress' admin interface. I'm sure at some point it was a nice, easy user interface but those days have passed. Anytime I have the misfortune of being thrown into a Wordpress backend I have no idea how to get anything done.

The WordPress admin interface hasn't changed all that much over the years. Unless the change to a darker admin theme tripped you up, I'm not sure where anyone that has any experience using anything on the internet would have much problem getting anything done with it.

When all you need to do is write a post, clicking on 'Posts' is a good start.

Not for everyone, but I rageported my wordpress site over to pelican one too many instances of it running slowly for no apparent reason. It's great if you're willing to author content in markdown or restructured text.

Mezzanine. And it is a joy to work with.

That.

After the second Drupal flaw in two weeks that enabled anybody to log on my server, I've decided to remove anything wrote in PHP from it. I'm not here to babysit software.

As a bonus, if you want anything too fancy in Mezzanine, you can just escape away to Django. Beats being thrown away in PHP by miles.
