    I remember when Drupal was starting, Joomla is way easier to use than drupal. However am afraid I may have just not got switched. Id like to thank trk427 with his link because I need to stay informed and this was a wake up call. lol

    Now....I guess all of them are good (I'm only using Wordpress for my blog)...but, what that corporate website has to accomplish? That's the question...because if it is just s simple presentation site (like this one for example www.direct-alliance.com ) I think eiter Joomla or Drupal are overkill. Too much for too small (not so complicated site).

    In that case Wordpress would fit very good, I guess (or other more simpler CMSes).

    Just look at this article about ways to use Wordpress as CMS: http://performancing.com/blogging-tools/48-unique-ways-use-wordpress (of course, some comments also advise not to use it as CMS)

    And look at these examples made with Wordpress:
    - http://autoshows.ford.com/ (look in the source code and see Wordpress 2.3.1 there)
    - http://www.webunload.com/
    - http://welovewp.com/category/gallery/corporate-gallery/ (they showcase sites which uses Wordpress)
    - http://9rules.com/

    If you want to read a Wordpress review (detailed with videos also) you can go to MyTestBox.com (category Blog Systems).

    I don't know if I'm qualified to comment. I have been running joomla for half a year now. The new version 1.5 is much better than 1.1 in term of SEO and ease of use.

    I hope Me4you can share more tips on Joomla here. Here is an example of site running on Joomla 1.5

    Here's has been my observations.....
    Joomla - best for corporate, non profit sites
    Drupal - Community sites
    WordPress - Blog sites

    I believe any of these products will do for any situation, if you're willing to work with the product. I started my CMS journey with Joomla. Needless to say, I couldn't understand it. I then went to Drupal, and got a site up, but couldn't find the mods that I wanted (and I'm not a programmer), then when I tried Joomla again, I had some experience and understood it better. I'm sold on Joomla for life now. Huge community, lots of free extentions, and easily installed.

    Good luck in your search!

    Raw HTML!! ;)

    But I guess it's a battle between Drupal and Joomla. I'd say I go for SEO friendly one. Which CMS is more SEO friendly?
