Allowing users/administrators to update content management themselves

Question

Is there an option besides Drupal or Wordpress to use to allow the user or administrators of a site to update and manage content on the site themselves?

Is it possible to use Drupal or Wordpress for a particular section of the site that I want to allow the above mentioned but not the rest of the site.

Basically I am just looking into options to be able to make the site from scratch:

1. without having to make it a drupal or wordpress template
2. without having to handbuild the content management system

ExpressionEngine might be the most flexible and powerful solution for your needs, in terms of supporting both static and dynamic sections/pages. See also this MetaFilter discussion.
