redneo · 07-17-2010, 08:09 AM

1. click "add site"
2. type in domain name

Ha. Mojojuju if your a drupal user, you should check out aegir... its sweet. Here is an install vid: Blog | Setting up a Cheap VPS for Virtualmin and Aegir for VPS Newbies

I personally use WP as a novice and I'm happy with it. I've taken some good instruction on setting it up with several good plug ins. However, I have heard nothing but good about Drupal. Between the two, I think sticking to WP is the best only because it is probably easier to learn and will suffice for most jobs.

iDevesh · 07-18-2010, 11:37 AM

WordPress is the best blogging platform compare to joomla or drupal.

Thanks,

vivifoster · 07-19-2010, 01:40 AM

I thought it was wordpress against joomla? Wordpress!

kohashi · 07-19-2010, 02:28 AM

You can teach people to use just about anything. I prefer Drupal because of the power, but I come from a programming background. I do know from experience though that non-tech people can use it and embrace it. You just need to train them properly

Softweb · 07-19-2010, 04:27 AM

As per my opinion wordpress is good..

Its 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..

mephious · 07-19-2010, 07:54 AM

Being a total newbie at web design wordpress is a dream for me. Plugins, themes, everything needed to get a site up and running easily.

j-spratt · 07-19-2010, 10:16 AM

wordpress.org by far the best best themes most used easy to use lot of good plugins for, just my opinion. have many for years.

ipwperia · 07-19-2010, 08:12 PM

Still Wordpress for now.. so friendly-user, and powerful I think.

e-service · 07-20-2010, 05:26 AM

I think that using which script depent your option. WP is easy to use for every one, Drupal need config and much more time to control , but Drupal is the best open source

jamespitt · 07-21-2010, 01:54 AM

They are very different tools for different sites.

Drupal is for really big sites, although you can you it for little sites the end-user does have to spend some time learning how to do things.

I've done quite a bit of work putting some interesting sites together using Drupal to produce facebook apps which are pretty easy to use & very powerful.

BTW - if you are using Drupal, make sure you do the following:
1. Download Drush - this is a great command line tool
2. Take a look at pressflow / varnish for (really) big sites
3. Make sure you can use Phing ( Phing ) to roll out sites.
4. And SVN, of course
5. And simpletest

yellowww · 07-21-2010, 04:49 PM

It depends on a project but I really love WP.

luminousnerd · 07-21-2010, 05:03 PM

I have been considering looking into Drupal myself lately. I hear a lot of buzz about it. The main reason I haven't is because I am familiar with WordPress, and it works so well for just about every project I've run into so far.

lithium · 07-22-2010, 01:44 AM

About a year or so ago, I decided I would learn how to use CMSs. So i did a fair bit of research, got down to the big 3, Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress, and tried them all out.

Wordpress was the easiest to figure out by a looooooong way! I have never looked back and have never used Joomla or Drupal since.

I know lots of Drupal lovers go on about the flexibility for developers, but really...how much more do you need to do than what you can do in Wordpress?

uhh, how about multiple content types with a super easy ability to add additional fields (cck). Or maybe a super easy way lists of different content (views). Or a way easy way to restructure a page and create easy landing pages (panels). Or a simple ecommerce solution (ubercart)...

I can go on and on.

Sure, drupal is much more developer friendly. But do I need all that? No. Do most people need all that? No.

I like WordPress because it is simple for me and my clients.

WebsiteManagers · 07-23-2010, 09:12 AM

All our clients use WordPress because it is easiest for them to use. Sure there are thousands of plugins for it, but sometimes special coding needs to be done to the theme and/or core files to get exactly what they want. I have not tried doing that in Joomla or Drupal, but have heard that custom coding is easier in those.

I think we need to define "developer". Most of the above Items I mentioned (css, views, panels) I use and probably need on every site I build. They require zero coding to use and anyone that can use microsoft word can use them. They are "developer" tools in that they help you add functionality to your site. But they aren't really "developer" tools in the way most people here think (that you need to be a coder to use them). They are easy to use for someone that doesn't even know any html.

danieltwooduk · 07-26-2010, 08:48 AM

I'm in love with Wordpress. I mean, it's a real whirlwind romance that's lasted two years :-D

RRigamonti · 07-27-2010, 04:15 PM

i think you can bring him on your way letting him to see how many sites are done with WP in the Internet and how many are done with Drupal. At least one reason there is if WP is so wide used!

Education lots of times is the biggest problem in our costumers....

Yes, fair enough...And I guess it always depends a great deal on your website needs.

I guess this Wordpress vs Drupal (or vs Joomla) argument is a bit like the toilet seat up or down...Some like it up, some like it down and you will rarely be able to convince them otherwise

But for the record, I prefer wordpress...

No you just need to understand what forum you are on. Most people will find Wordpress tops for putting up content as fast as they can. They are not attempting to do anything beyond that with their site. Businesses have a number of needs that wordpress just can't accomodate. Wordpress now has some content type functions but like you noticed it isn't built into the worpdress system backend. You have to go into code and then the backend will recognize it.

Actually I would give Joomla a spin for mid to small businesses. Corporations/ high traffic sites I'd defintiely go Drupal.

thinkinginvain · 07-29-2010, 03:28 AM

Lot of good posts here but sadly some misinformation

First WordPress is no more or less secure than any other platform

Second, WordPress is a full on CMS with blogging capabilities. It is not just a blog. In fact in the last 24 months I hae built only one blog, but I have built dozens of CMS sites. All using WordPress.

You can do everything and anything you want with WordPress, you just have to know how, as with Drupal.

The most important thing of all though: WordPress is dead easy to use, if your client is a beginner, wordpess is much better.

bloggerboys · 07-29-2010, 03:39 AM

i recommended wp...because..it's easy to use..

Benjamin B · 07-29-2010, 05:07 AM

Wordpress without a doubt.

As a PHP programmer, it is so much easier & flexible for me to edit and add customized stuff.

Especially now with version 3

RRigamonti · 07-29-2010, 05:56 AM

in a word: WORDpress :-)

Creativologist · 08-01-2010, 08:49 AM

I actually use both Wordpress and Drupal for different projects. Like 'em both, but prefer the flexibility of Wordpress.

cpace32 · 08-01-2010, 11:04 AM

Wordpress is easier to use, maintain, upgrade, etc.

Drupal is more powerful.

In the end, it all depends on the client's needs. Personally, I tend to lean towards Wordpress.

Peter Olson · 08-09-2010, 03:26 PM

I just ran in to this article... its interesting: SonSpring | Why Drupal?

I think it may be some help.

Kysersoze · 08-09-2010, 04:50 PM

Wordpress is best for newbies by far and away. Not much of a learning curve, tons of resources online with plugins, themes and information for wordpress.

Paul Gordelo · 08-09-2010, 11:08 PM

I am agree with hendricius. I am also working in wordpress from 3 years.
It is easily manageable and more flexible

antiquenh · 08-09-2010, 11:11 PM

Wordpress because it is easy to navigate such as updating files than drupal.

MGL · 09-07-2010, 08:20 PM

I've recently worked with Expression E. and it reminds me of WP

findall · 09-07-2010, 09:06 PM

i prefer the word press because it is very easy to make a website with all most all features

samualdany · 09-08-2010, 04:18 PM

As Drupal and WordPress are really powerful tools, with both these CMS I am really comfortable. WordPress and Drupal are for small and big websites, respectively..

The reason they hire a web designer is because they don't know. Chances are they heard or read somewhere that one is better than another and their set on using it.

Exactly what I was thinking. Wordpress has been able to do pretty much everything that I need it to do for the sites that I create.

David Neale · 09-08-2010, 11:52 PM

For a basic site I would agree with you. Wordpress would probably work out better for them.

We have built many sites that never use the blogging component just pages.

He's never created a site with Drupal or WordPress but seems to think Drupal is best, whereas from what I've read it seems like Drupal is a bear to learn and too powerful for our needs.

I'm biased toward WordPress but want to have an open mind. In your opinion which is best for creating a basic site?

hidden pearl · 09-09-2010, 12:04 AM

both of these programs are useful but it depends on the nature of usage you have, however personally i prefer drupal because of its exclusive features and friendly usage.

seoroot · 09-09-2010, 02:01 AM

my vote for Wordpress . very user friendly interface, easy to configure, lot of plugins, wide rang of books , themes also seo friendly than joomla . Wordpress is a Blog Type CMS ,Drupal is a true CMS

Peter Olson · 09-10-2010, 12:47 PM

I just recently built a site for a political campaign in drupal. The girl they have managing/updating the site also manages several other political sites. After having used my drupal site, she has talked her other companies into converting over to drupal.

Why? Because DRUPAL IS EASY TO USE. I have setup a couple of views in panels with a couple different content types.
- The content posts to places she knows where they are going (upper left of frontpage, lower left frontpage, "featured box", etc...).
- She doesn't have to "fake" it with categories and tweak lists of content in the wordpress theme files (loops). Its all easily editable in the UI.
- The wysiwyg editor acts like it should instead of freaking out like the wordpress one always does (you know what I'm talking about).
- Its easy to add content to region (just like wordpress)

Drupal has all the advantages of wordpress plus a million more. Biz sites should use drupal.

webdollarz · 09-11-2010, 02:40 PM

Wordpress for basic content sites.. Drupal for more advanced social networking features.

ernestcobb26 · 09-24-2010, 02:07 PM

Wordpress is the accurate tool for your job. In case you have a little firm, then Drupla can be suitable for the right job.

XavierColas85 · 10-14-2010, 03:19 AM

I prefer wordpress CMS over Durpal and Joomla as wordpress has a wide range of themes and its designs are also quite SEO friendly.

XavierColas85 · 10-14-2010, 03:22 AM

Wordpress CMS is much easy to use and there is more variety of designs and themes in wordpress than Drupal, it also offers more flexibility

y2gabs · 10-14-2010, 07:07 PM

Wordpress, hands down. I don't like the drupal web design templates. They're just too templatey... the wordpress community is far more creative and extensive!

Black Hatter · 10-15-2010, 02:24 PM

Great info. Interested in learning how to build a website and definately going Wordpress...

Drupal is an excellent CMS and has management and security advantages over WordPress. But it does have a steeper learning curve, and is probably an overkill for his site.

If his intention is to build a portal to use as a tool for his employees or an online community then perhaps you should consider a more advanced CMS like Drupal or Joomla. But otherwise go with WordPress - you're familiar with it and he will find it much easier to use.

Bill

I agree...
Simple and Basic Website = wordpress
Complex and Online Community or related sites = drupal

but my guess is, your client needs something or a feature from drupal that he/she wants to take advantage with, then use drupal

I just recently built a site for a political campaign in drupal. The girl they have managing/updating the site also manages several other political sites. After having used my drupal site, she has talked her other companies into converting over to drupal. Why? Because DRUPAL IS EASY TO USE. I have setup a couple of views in panels with a couple different content types. - The content posts to places she knows where they are going (upper left of frontpage, lower left frontpage, "featured box", etc...). - She doesn't have to "fake" it with categories and tweak lists of content in the wordpress theme files (loops). Its all easily editable in the UI. - The wysiwyg editor acts like it should instead of freaking out like the wordpress one always does (you know what I'm talking about). - Its easy to add content to region (just like wordpress) Drupal has all the advantages of wordpress plus a million more. Biz sites should use drupal.
