The two big names here for web development are Joomla and Drupal. Personally, I run with drupal and there were three big reasons for that. 1) User Access Control. Drupal has an entirely flexible system. I needed this for some of the sites I work on. 2) Customizing the look. I looked at Joomla and Drupal for this and found drupal gave me more options, though they are not always easy to implement. 3) Developing. I am a coder and love to program. Drupal is more well coded (I know this is a matter of opinion) and it is easier to develop additional functionality for. This is my 2 cents and I definitely respect Joomla. It is powerful and in some areas has a leg up on Drupal.

It's limited, but so is my time and technical experience. It's not geared for churches, but is pretty easy to use. What do you think of it? Brian Hi,

We use Web Hero (webhero.com) for our web site. It’s limited, but so is my time and technical experience. It’s not geared for churches, but is pretty easy to use.

What do you think of it?

Have you heard of SilverStripe? It’s a CMS that we’ve been developing over the last year – we’ve given it a much simpler, more intuitive interface than most of the ‘general purpose’ CMSes – while still being flexible enough for most websites.
