I always say wordpress. It just has so much more utilities. It can be powerful when used correctly.
Which Platform is REALLY THE BEST
- Thread starter Muviee
- Start date
** i've worked with joomla for years:
- joomla sites are unusually slow to load, probably due to joomla's over convoluted code
- for a newbie it's relatively complicated to set up and maintain
- joomla is relatively frequently updated, but these updates often revamp the software in a major way, causing users to spend tons of time adapting their sites
- joomla extensions (addons) are 99% absolute crap, badly coded and super over complicated to use, plus give a very poor user experience (look and feel bad to site visitors). the few addons that are actually good (e.g. jreviews) are relatively expensive.
in short - i wouldn't recommend joomla, definitely not to a newbie and not even to an experienced webmaster due to joomla sites being so slow and time spent on maintaining them.
** wordpress: also worked with it for years (although less than with joomla), it's ok.
** drupal: comes highly recommended by many, but haven't worked with it myself.

I heard Drupal can be heavily customized.

If it is blogging or mini-sites then Wordpress for sure as it is very simple to use but when it comes to authority sites i am definitely going along with Joomla.

Wordpress for blogs! Drupal for heavy weight websites....
Wordpress has so many useful features already built into it, you don't need a lot of experience and it's fairly intuitive. There are lots of themes to choose from... Tumblr is even easier for microblogging. Once you get into it though Drupal allows for a lot of interesting customization. I say try out a few for yourself and see what works!
When i started my website i use blogger as my platform, then out of curiosity i started my second website on wordpress, and trust me after all this year of blogging i must say wordpress is better and simple. At first it looks complicated, but after you get use to it then you realized how wordpress is much more better than blogger.
So wordpress is better for me...

Wordpress is the best, there are far too many useful plugins for it.
