CMS simple in an existing website

Hi all, this is my first post.
I have tried quite a lot cms but so far nothing has fully satisfied me.

My problem is that i have already developed a website www.metroaudiosystems.gr a couple of months ago. My client now wants to be able to manage news and jobs.

I want to be able not to change the whole website but to include the cms in the existing website.
Is this possible or do i have to develop it from the beginning? I know that this is the ideal but i have some time contraints and i want something quick for the time being.

I noticed working on the demo for a bit that it looks like the website baker cms.

Thanks in advance.

The quickest option will be to use stand alone software (like CuteNews for instance).

It should possible to use CMSms only for these two things. ButĀ  it makes not sense in my eyes cause you have to rebuilt complete website structure (template, css, menu). It this is done the step to import the complete website is very littleĀ  :).

I wanted also to give cms simple a try in order to use it in future projects.

I will try and manage 3 pages (homepage, news, jobs) so that i can show recent news on the homepage as well.

If the site is not real huge, ie,. tons of content, you can convert the templates and css to work in CMSMS and then copy/paste content in then you will not have to try and get just parts of CMSMS and you will have a dynamic menu system to add pages with out having to hand code every page for new additions...

I've visited your own site, and it's obvious you've got real talent. I would take the time to try and develop this site in CMSMS, sometimes you've just got to put in the work without a thought of gaining instant rewards.
