Great post, the topic for discussion is very interesting.
I love wordpress. It is an excellent CMS when it comes to blogging and publishing your brain-work and thoughts.

To me I like both Joomla and WordPress as website CMS. I will always propose Joomla when is large scale and need more extension modules required such as News, Event Calendar, User Permission, File Management and etc. When it come to smaller scale with blog, and some static article site I will propose WordPress. Both are great open source!

Thanks for the genuine comments guys – David, agreed that it can take some time but I don’t think I would categorise it as never being a ‘pure’ cms platform… They’ve come along way with WordPress, to the point now where you can even install multiple sites off the one cms. I think it gets misconstrued a little bit because it still carries the stigma of a blog platform…

It does become a bit of a pain with setting up categories and tag structures (the guys in here have become guns at it, but i see where it could get painful!). I think that the new 3.0 release will address some of these points however… We can’t wait to get our hands on the new release and try it out for ourselves

Great post, the reasons i moved away from my Joomla cms was that i needed to address the 30-40 second load times. Its around 9-11 seconds on the new WordPress cms and i now have the one-click update cms/plugins when required.

The changing a blog platform into a cms can take a significant amount of time and some hacks but it will never be a pure cms platform.

what a very informative article! I’m a newbie of webpage development/designing and yeah, it’s really great to know how these booming websites and internet domination affect the SEO and online marketing world.

thanks for the comment Ian – agreed, but it’s also the quality of the plugins on offer that should seal the deal when choosing your CMS. The problem is though, there are way too many plugins too choose from.

Both the CMS provides great SEO plug ins, and that is the most important part in today’s competitive era of websites.
