Possible wordpress use?

I have a client who has a static html site and would like to be able to add/edit/delete pages at will. A co-worker suggest I look into WordPress as a tool to do this. So far I’ve spent a fair bit of time researching wordpress and ran into a hurdle. The site needs a menu with drop down menu capabilities. It would be nice if the client could add / edit / delete the pages as well as the menu. The suckerfish menu is perfect except that it doesn’t allow you to rename the top level navigation ( Home | Pages | etc.)

Any Suggestions? Thanks in for the help in advance.
