My thoughts on website Content Management Systems (CMS). Completely outside the scope of my NLP business, Ive built some other websites. I built out and now manage a small community Wordpress site. I also helped add content to a Joomla site once the basic site was already developed. So now Ive got a little bit of experience with Wordpress, just minimal experience with Joomla, and far more experience than I ever would have wanted with Drupal. The first obvious conclusion to draw is: Every single one of these CMSs offers massive value for different web development purposes and skill-levels. Wordpress is ridiculously easy once you get how theyve worked hard to simplify everything. You can edit small details if you like -- like the detailed CSS settings, to a limited degree. But if youre a technophobe, this is your choice. Adding widgets to flesh out a site, or swapping out themes, is outrageously criminally easy. The community site I run is build on Wordpress. Joomla takes some of the best automation and integration of Wordpress and adds customization power. Early forms of Joomla, not so much, but more recent iterations... you can probably do a lot of whats possible in drupal now in joomla. If you like easy but hate how wordpress makes it more difficult to customize things on the fly and add custom coding... then Joomla is probably a better bet. A relatives art gallery is built on Joomla. Drupal is a web developers dream and nightmare all at once. But you can do almost *anything* with it if you have time and experience with the vast expanses of drupals system (or a web development team to do some/all of it for you). My NLP Website is built on Drupal.
