What CMS to Use?

So, you want a dynamic site but not yet decided on what system to use?
Try visiting this wiki page for an overview of all CMS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems

Based on personal observation, the most commonly used CMS are Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal. But it really depends on what website you are trying to make. If it's just a blog that you want, wordpress is perfect. Though you can also develop wordpress to a stunning corporate site. If you need a multi-functional highly-extendable system, then joomla is the right choice. Drupal is also a fair choice, but at the moment, available extensions for drupal are not yet as extensive as drupal. If you have a resident programmer, or someone you can hire to do the customization work, then the drupal system will prove best for you.

I'm a fan of opensource softwares so I wouldn't care to inlcude some commercial CMS on this post. Other Opensource CMS softwares worth mentioning includes Elgg for social networks, B2evolution and Nucleus for blogging, Plone for hardcore programming, and Mambo as joomla equivalent.
