Erm?, two different things: Joomla - free PHP CMS software (which can make it easier for beginners or people who want an easier approach for updating/customizing a website) Zend - PHP Framework (Framework to make it easier to develop PHP software)
danx10 is correct. Zend is comparable to Ruby on Rails or Spring, but not to a full-featured cms like Joomla, Wordpress or Drupal. There is no limit to the size of the busienss or the website that either Joomla or Drupal can support, but there are many things to take into consideration before making a decision. One of the main factors is going to be your web professional. No matter how much you like him or how good they may be, if they are not a true professional with years of experience in the cms you want to use, they are the wrong person. Also, no matter how much experience they may have with joomla or drupal, if you don't feel confident in them and can't trust them, they are not the right person.

Zend is a framework that enforces the use of MVC architecture, normally for developers. Joomla is an open-source CMS, which could allow you to build a website without any programming knowledge.
