    Do a search, I think I've seen that question asked a couple times.

    In my opinion - WordPress or Drupal.

    I think the answer is "different strokes for different folks"

    Whilst Wordpress may be best for one type of site, sNews or Silverlight may suit another.

    There are many variables to consider .. this is why the sites where you can "test drive" are so handy to have on tap.

    It really depends on what you want to do.. But, IMHO, Drupal is best because it can do pretty much everything..

    Hi -

    The things I look for in a good CMS are:
    • Ease of use, and a friendly learning curve
    • A robust development community
    • The "strength" of the lead developers -- will they stay with the project? For example, WordPress is backed by Automattic.com, which is in part funded by the New York Times Co.
    • A wealth of plugins/modules that help you build sites for different purposes
    • A larger userbase
    I also like it when I see mass market books appearing for a particular CMS solution (WordPress, Drupal, and JOOMLA are examples), since that helps learning, managing, and awareness.

    You might like to compare CMS programs at CMSmatrix.org.

    Best of success -
    Scott

    Wordpress is easy to use but you need to install a plug-ins. Joomla and Drupal is a CMS management system that needs to have a script knowledge and can be use from simple, personal homepages to complex corporate web application.

    I think i installed too much modules and i messed up everything when i tried to upgrade it to 5.7 version.

    Joomla is imho more difficult to mess up.

    I think that's like asking "What is the best religion?" or "Which state makes the best barbeque?" There just isn't going to be a definitive answer.

    It totally depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I've done sites based on CMSMadeSimple and clients were plum happy. I've done sites on Joomla, and clients couldn't figure it out. There is no "best" CMS, they all have their benefits and drawbacks. Wordpress isn't really a CMS, but it does work well for smaller sites that don't need alot of bells and whistles.
