How about Adobe Contribute? It's a program with a WYSISWYG interface. It's not free, it costs per license, which makes it excellent for corporate use. However, if that's too much for you, Adobe has a new program called Subscriptions to use their software on a month-to-month basis.

Or, you may want to look into a super tiny CMS system, such as LittleCMS. If this one doesn't suit your fancy, there are a lot out there, they are pretty easy to find.

You have two options (assuming you will not be using server side scripting whish is implied in your question):

1) Use JavaScript - this allows you to dynamically check a username and password, set cookies, and reject users who fail authenticate. The downside to this is anyone who knows how JavaScript works can easily find the username and password in your JavaScript and gain access to your site. Or, even easier, just turn off JavaScript to bypass it completely.

2) Use Basic Authentication - This allows you to have a little pop up window that asks for a username and password and if the login fails reject the user. The downside to this is you'll need to set up each user through a control panel or through SSH.
