It can get quite confusing. Not exactly comparing like for like,
although the end results may be the same.
Joomla is an existing opensource content management system, with a
wide variety of extensions, and the ability for developers to use it
like a framework and add their own functionality

I think Steve has given an excellent response to the question.

I'll be a contrarian here. We are developers and depending on what
requirements you have, $15K is not at all expensive. A person may be
able to set up a site in a day or two, but that is on the base code
and server config. Are you also requiring custom design? That adds a
few grand easily. And
Sounds good to me. So much comes down to the experience level of the
person who wants the site, from their technical skills to how far
theyve got a detailed concrete spec of what they need.
Im not much good with money, but I guess the issue of exactly how much
something should cost is not just
I've used Joomla, and from the point of view of a relative novice, Joomla
was a breeze to setup. I installed the bridge and created an SMF forum that
sat quite nicely in the middle of the Joomla setup. The contacts were all
in the same database so there was no need to have people sign up for the

Theres tons of Joomla modules, many free ones, but certainly there are
quite a lot of commercial ones out there too, especially media
handling ones. Same with templates, there are way more Joomla
templates out there than Drupal ones. So there may be more Joomla
developers out there than Drupal
I am running a couple of joomla sites:

I've also administrated Drupal.
I find Drupal to require more coding and programming skills, a better
understanding of workflow and such, but I think that it is probably
easier to administrate if you have the
Ron, I'm digging your sites. I think Joomla is very cool and I hadn't
really checked it out. It's way to go for a personal web 2.0 project
that I had in mind.
I agree with the community here that PHP or Ruby is the way to go for
our commercial project. We plan on having hundreds or thousands of

1) The very fact that you can research all of this and get it going
means you are a techie; client here is not.
2) I'd prefer it if you had certain key phrases in bold, like:

What is your time worth to work for someone else who wants a

Im not sure the the overall advice here is that you should go for php
or Ruby rather than a CMS. At the end of the day drupal and joomla are
php, just that lots of people have already written most of what you
need I php, rather than getting someone to write a php site from scratch.
I dont know
Joomla and Drupal are CMSes, written in PHP. You may want to read up
on Drupal having teething troubles with MySQL and the way their tables
are structured, considering huge changes to the system, hitting a wall
in the process. Joomla is no better. It's a great system to play
around with, but it's
