If the contents on the different tabs are completely independent from each other - in other words: if each tab could also work as an independent entity - that´s the only scenario when tab-structures work in my opinion.
The design has to reflect the levels and the website needs a clear highlighting. And the number of tabs has to be limited ... five starts to look like quite a lot - depends on the wording. And - YES - clients love tabs, because their internal organisational structure may be transported to the website and most clients automatically believe that they may use millions of tabs - like the hateful windows system menus that use even rows of tabs - arrghh! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
