I am having a website designed and am deciding between Joomla and WordPress. Which is more suitable?
May 10th, 2010 | 
Author: I am having a website designed and am wanting it to be built with open source CMS. I will be maintaining the site myself and have limited experience. The site is marketing our business and will be a resource for those interested in our product. It will have a news and events function but not necessarily a blog. The site will be image rich.
I strongly recommend WordPress.

I think WordPress. I don’t know much but it is more commonly used so I assume it’s better.

Joomla
Now Joomla with al its extensions is great for building a good solid website with all the features you want. And you can bring it to high rankings in the search eninges as well, if you start with the proper technical improvements.
Templates in Joomla make it easy to get a good layout for the site, and you can find lots of good free Joomla templates. For a good business website I suggest you look for a good commercial template based on a Table less design with external css files.
WordPress
For Blogging you cannot beat WordPress, especially if you do the right setup, making the permalinks work right the .htaccess file and set the options to /%postname%/. Creating posts and giving it the special keyword tags is really easy.
Templates for WordPress are also very easy to obtain and to implement. Besides that…Google loves WordPress Blogs
My advice?
Use them both!!
Setup your main site in Joomla! and start working on the content, create good quality content.
In a sub directory, or a subdomain, install WordPress and start blogging, using the keywords you also use for your website.
WordPress with its create SEF functions and categories will bring you traffic, this traffic reflects to your main domain.
And with the content on your main website, you work to keep your visitors captured and make them come back.
Yes, I know there is a great Component to integrate WordPress in Joomla from j-prosolution.com (Site is no longer available, but a great replacement can be Found on http://www.joomlify.com/) and used it also http://www.pathos-seo.com And if that is not enough, they even use it for the news via blogs on http://www.joomla.org/ !!
