If you decide to adopt the flexibility and power of Drupal you’d need to learn how to upgrade anyway. There is a huge learning curve with Drupal and I would suggest taking time to learn and get yourself up to speed. iTunes podcasts are a good and fun place to start.

It's always a challenge when working with clients to communicate the value of a good content strategy. More often than not, clients tend to approach their website redesigns with a "lipstick on the pig" notion. My whole career over the last year or so has been focused on educating clients about the value and the merits of good planning, and finding ways to help them understand their return on investment. Thanks for reading! Hi Lerynne, I appreciate your comments on this article, and I’m glad you found it valuable.

For people looking to build their own websites, your myth-busters are a very important starting point. For people who want to have a website built for them, your point about developing a content strategy is essential! Too often too much focus is on the "look" of the website and not nearly enough thought goes into planning, creating and organizing the content that has to go on it. It doesn't matter how good/powerful/flexible/adaptable/expandable your website system is - if you don't know what it's actual goal is and/or don't have decent content to move people to take the action you want them to take to achieve your goal, it's not going to "work." A little planning goes a long way - and your tips should form part of that planning. :) Thanks for this objective overview of how to choose a CMS that suits the needs it has to meet.

I liked Joomla first. But that did not last long as I could not get it to work. One CMS feature that really tickle my fancy is the viral adsense sharing module/add on that is written for Drupal. Since the introduction of so many CMS installations in the Fantastico bundle, it is much easier although I recently installed Drupal and found that I still had to "patch" the installation. It also gave me a recommeded critical security upgrade notice so I just left it at that until the version in Fantastico is updated.
