    I use Xsitepro2 and absolutely love it. I am not ver technical and I am able to develop nice looking websites. I even use it to design websites for small business owners who pays me between 2 and 4K per site.

    XSP is very user friendly, you can add video, audio, optin forms, rss feeds etc with a touch of a button and the cost for XSP is $197.00

    It's worth checking out.

    Drupal is more stable and lightweight for server than Joomla. For SEO, Drupal also can be customized for more optimized in SERP

    Select a developer that you trust and ask him. Actually it is a matter of preferences and a topic for new "holy" war

    Choose Joomla. They look good and as the other link says, they have the best support and best SEO performance.

    Here is your URL for learning how to implement SEO on your Joomla site :

    LINK


    Scroll down to where it says :

    1. Enable SEO in your administrator! (administrator > SEO > Enable > Save)

    2. Rename your htaccess.txt to .htaccess, or use your existing .htaccess file.



    and read a bit more on the hosting details.

    I am just starting to learn about drupal and it seems reasonably easy to work with. I have had people tell me to not use joomla because it doesn't work too well with the search engines.

    What is the site going to be used for. joomla is a magazine style CMS where as durpal is a CMS for massive amounts of content 100's of pages.

    if you are doing somethhing under 50 pages i would without a doubt go with wordpress. much less demanding and its awesome.
