I would like to set her up with a CMS, so she can take over once its up. Small budget for a friend type of project.

7,609 PointsHi Greg,
This is a perfect use case for WordPress. Pair that up with the always awesome, and free Paid Memberships Pro plugin and you have a membership site that protects the content, accepts payments and manages the users. All of that is completely free! I've used it a number of times and it is great. You can set it up to use Paypal or Stripe for payments :-).
Also, because I've done this exact thing before, you can upload the videos to Youtube as private and use their service to host the videos for free. Be warned, anyone with the link can still see a private video, so if you have a customer that decides to pass it around, there's not much you can do.
You can use Vimeo premium to protect the videos properly, but that will cost about $10/month.
