For me, it was a way to give my client (local parish) some things:
1. An easy way for them to make _content_ changes to their website, 
without getting into the nuts and bolts and potentially creating havoc.
2. A way to make the site searchable for the user.
3. A way from keeping them from publishing Word documents as HTML - urgh!
4. A way to have content changes immediate, and not have to wait for 24 
hours before their current hosting company downloads content (in Word, 
with no navigation).

I rolled my own in ASP/Access, not very complicated because I didn't need 
anything complicated.
