Joomla or Drupal? Planning to setup a new website!

I think joomla is the best CMS & easy to use. It's also helpful for less code savvy people.

 

I also go with Drupal.

It still depends on what you want to accomplish. But Drupal has a clean underlying architecture, is by far the most secure CMS and has a good performance (depends on installed modules). It is also much more flexible in customizing almost all parts. You can start very fast only with installing the needed modules and activating them. With the modules CCK and View you can also create your own Contenttemplates and Views. And as you get used to the whole system or better say framework it opens you much more opportunities.
Drupal is in my eyes much cleaner expandable than the other CMS and is therefor much safer for the future expansion of any website project.

 

both Drupal and Joomla have their strengths and weaknesses. Personally I use Drupal because I find it to be more highly configurable for what I need it to do. But it can take some time to configure. It just really depends what you are trying to do.

 

I believe Joomla is the way to go. The support is very good and there's allot of mods and what not. I've used both Joomla and Drupal and I found Joomla to be more user friendly.

 

I think Joomla is pretty damn good. But it does have it's own problems. I'm hoping to use Drupal soon.

 

Joomla is the best.Just learn it.

 

I found that to create a page in Joomla takes 4 to 5 steps.. Starting from section,categ,menu mgr,menu and then article and then module manager.. Phew !!

In drupal just create content and all the other configuration can be done in the article creation page itself(except module which is a one time job) !!

 

Joomla vs Drupal is really a judgement cal. They both do about the same thing and one might be better than the other at certain things and not at others.

The real obvious one here is that wordpress is limited and trying to do something with it is not impossible, but you're in for a lot of work and modification to get it to do what Drupal or Joomla do out of the box.

 

Joomla is a better option any day; thanks to its wonderful user-friendly content and a rich resource library of various options to make your website more attractive.

Even as a programmer or a non-programmer, you will find JOOMLA a better tool to enhance.

 

You're wrong, developers and large companies all prefer drupal over any other open source CMS.

I can list ten's of large corporations/companies/sites that use drupal, could you do the same with joomla?

 

I agree to this point... My company also did the same !!!
