What do you think the best CMS is for my needs

I have one of my personal sites that I am trying to set up at the moment and I was using Wordpress as I am fairly comfortable with it. But I thought another CMS might suit me better and I can't decide which one as I've only used Wordpress.

Here is a bit about the site and myself:

• The site Needs to be fully customisable and I shouldn't need to be a complete nerd at HTML/CSS, I am only a graphics desiigner by nature - I'm okay with HTML/CSS but I need to consistently check all my resources to know what I am doing
• I know wordpress a little bit but my site isn't really a blog
• My site will be similair layout to oceanhunter.co.nz except that it won't be based on an online store
• The site will have Adventures, How-To Articles, Gear Reviews, a Forum, Weather pages (scraping with php scripts), Recipes, Photo and Video galleries
• Must be SEO friendly

So what do you all think?

 

Wordpress is so easy to use and customizable with such a large user base to help you out, it's really a no brainer.

 

I like WolfCMS but you would be required to do some xhtml/css and possibly snippets.

 

Joomla would be best for you if you do not want to indulge in technical part (however requires a bit more effort to go ahead than wordpress) , Drupal is another choice, but again its even more tough.

 

Why not give Weebly a try because with it you can customize your website with ease.

 

if u wanna try to build up site like oceanhunter.co.nz...you can build with wordpress
many plugin can help you...try to search on plugin menu...I'm forget about what exactly is...maybe next time I'll explain it for you
I'd love wordpress because it's user friendly and SEO optimazed

 

Will stick with Wordpress then, Thanks all
