What's the best content management system for our requirements?

Hey everybody,

I'm helping my wife launch a site and I'm trying to go about it the best way, so I decided to use a content management system.

The trouble is: which one?

Here are the features we want:

• Store
• News Articles (Written by Admin)
• Blog (Written by Admin)
• Forum
• User Blogs

Originally, I was just going to put up OS Commerce, Wordpress, vBulletin and Wordpress MU as I could just modify the templates across all installations to be uniform (in terms of header and footer), but then I thought-- why rebuild the wheel?

So now I'm stuck. I've tested both on our server and it seems like Drupal is more user-friendly but lacks eCommerce support while Joomla is more difficult but has tons more features. I don't want to settle on one and curse myself later for not asking, so here I am.

Can anyone give us some input?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

 

Woot! you got all the stuff on it.

if you have products to sell just go on OSC Max and add up the wordpress as your secondary CMS for content. You really need SSL certificates if your dealing with products.

Just dont put it all in

 

It doesn't look like OSC Max will handle multiple user blogs, will it?
