    I want to move my current site, vinota.com to a CMS.

    I have some experience in Joomla ,but for me its slow and not SEO friendly. Please correct me if I wrong.

    I have had a look at Wordpress and Drupal. Can someone suggest me what will be the best CMS for me.

    I'm thinking to take out current Flash intro from my site ,and make it more user friendly.SEO is crucial part of my business.

    Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal are all big, powerful packages that take a bit of time to learn and setup for each site. But they do have more facilities if you need them.
    However most sites are just text and pictures so you can often create them much more quickly and with lighter code in smaller CMS systems.
    I particularly like parsing or db to html programs because these have more simple templates and don't need online databases which can be slow and more hasstle to setup and maintain.

    I saw your site is about calls, probably international calls,
    and yes, the SEO is going to be very competitive. Large Flash
    files do not help with SEO.

    Joomla is your best choice. Why ? It has the ability to grow with you with
    tons of plugins. It is SEO friendly if you use specific plugins. It is "heavy"
    if you use too many plugins.

    You do not need something as big as drupal, and if you want more than just a good blog, choose Joomla.

    If your looking for somethink light weight then textpattern is very small and easy to use but this all depends on the spec you have for the job. The more functionality you need with a cms is when Joomla comes into its own.

    Easiest is Wordpress and it comes with many free themes...

    but if you plan on expanding in the future with new features then Wordpress is kind of limiting... so I would go with ModxCMS. I've tried them all and Modx is a fantastic CMS... just released version 1.0 and it's going to be taking off ...
