Hi guys, Im launching a fresh site and Im torn between drupal and wordpress
please let me hear your thoughts

I'll just link you to a recent article on THWR, it outlines the pros and cons of Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress.

http://www.topwebhostreview.net/blog...-vs-wordpress/

Hope that helps

I haven't tried drupal but wordpress has been very good to me it definitely changed the old days of having to spend all that time with html

I tried Drupal, and i can say it's not only a blogging cms. You have a large variety of plug-ins, themes, etc...

With Wordpress is all different, because it was born only for blogging, then it was expanded, but it remains a blogging "CMS".

In conclusion, in my honest opinion, i think that you should try Wordpress for a simple and professional blogging experience, but if you want to customize your site the best, you should give Drupal a try.

I would go with Joomla)... Answering to your question, I prefer WP. Because its more friendly in use and have tons of useful addons and templates.

Hm, what does CMS have to do with "Website Design Forum"? Not much...

Depends on your needs, that's all I say

word press is better word press have lots of function and it is a modern software.
it provide you lots if plugin.

I havent used durpal just wordpress and its been great experience so i will suggest wordpress

Both WP and Drupal,are successful CMSs to host a website and manage, categorise, create and edit its data (text, audio, video or site pages).I have used drupal cms,it is a great experience with drupal..

i have used wordpress and drupal.
i think WP is better to use.
It is much easier to manipulate.

it really depends on your needs.

Both have advantages in different areas. Drupal is a big system, great for community building, having multiple contributors and membership etc.

Wordpress, as we all know, is great for blogs.

Figure out your needs, then investigate their strengths.

Wordpress Pros

• Simple to use - No need for modifications
• Excellent for blogging or sharing thoughts in a sequential manner
• Even the most elderly of users can get the hang of it quickly

Wordpress Cons

• Not developer friendly
• The community seems to like to complain
• Upgrades bring more bugs than fixes sometimes

Drupal Pros

• Extremely developer friendly. If I loved code more I would almost always pick this system.
• Strong community to help discern the dozens (hundreds) of functions and tags available.
• Can be used to create some really awesome websites that can outperform a majority of other sites out there.

Drupal Cons

• Not very designer and user-friendly. It's hard for someone with little code knowledge to make the leaps required to do the very cool things that Drupal is becoming known for.
• Theming of Drupal has been a huge case of fail (until recently). Probably because it has been developers, not designers, that are making the themes.
• Getting a Drupal website published could cost you more time, and thus more money, than Wordpress or Joomla.

Joomla Pros

• Friendly for all types of users - Designers, Developers and Administrators
• Huge community is awesome for assisting with creation of websites
• Has been rapidly growing and improving itself for the past three years

Joomla Cons

• Still not user-friendly enough for everyone to understand
• Not quite as powerful as Drupal, and can be a bit confusing for some to jump into
• Recently rebuilt the entire system from ground-up, and so there are still many out there sticking to the old versions (1.0.x)

i would suggest you to use WP, the new version offers lots of new useful features and plug-ins

WP is only good for blogging. But Drupal is full CMS, you can blog, sell products, create a tutorial site and etc.

If you have good hands on coding then you can go with Drupal using which you can develop a powerful well featured website else Wordpress is most recommended. Wordpress blogs are very user friendly and comes with attractive themes, useful plugins etc...
My vote for Wordpress

Both content management systems have their own pros and cons. However, WordPress is generally seen as being the best choice for a novice webmaster. More advanced web developers should consider Drupal, as it offers the freedom and control not seen in any other CMS.

Wordpress is much easier to use and more widely used. It's us to you... maybe you should try both...

i only know WP, not heard of drupal.
WP is certainly much friendly use,i have used it for 3 years and can not find any disadvantages.

Sorry but wordpress has been a full CMS for some time now. It is much more than just a blogging site.
I make most my websites through wordpress.

I have tried wordpress and drupal,to be honest,I prefer to wordpress,you will be attracted by wordpress at the first sight.
