Do I need a full fledge content management system?
So I have this website that I'm building and they are wanting to be able to change content and pictures on any page throughout the website. I'm not too familiar with content management systems and don't know if I need a full fledged content management system( joomla/drupal ) or I should just create something. Any suggestions? Also, what is some good software for what I'm looking for?

A blogging platform like Wordpress can sometimes be used as a lightweight alternative to a full CMS. You can set it up so that the site's pages are actually individual "posts" in the system. This enables people who don't know HTML to easily update pages within a friendly user interface.
The main task on the back end would be to create a theme that assigns the individual "posts" to a set page structure, which will require significant customization but shouldn't be too difficult.

Using a full fledged CMS would be cheaper and faster than doing it your self.
The only pitfall is-you will have to learn how to skin the chosen CMS.
