I agree with @Artisteer fan, you will be best to use Joomla if you have some knowledge about development in case of outage plugin. I am using K2 on my new site and love it. I will give more love once they release commentluv plugin or mod.

Funny story, I actually started building sites with Joomla because of the functionality, but now I am using WordPress for the simplicity. Plus there are more free wordpress plugins than Joomla plugins and less compatibilty issues.

Meaning everytime Joomla makes a major change many plugins no longer work, and you are left with an unsupported CMS unless the develper updates their plugins.

I guess it all depends, but for mini sites and more basic sites WordPress rocks, but if you are buidling a more complicated site, say an ecommerce site, Joomla definately has its advantages.

Both are great to me.

I think that SEO is not necessarily related to the CMS used. You can setup page titles and other parameters to be like you want in both systems, so it’s more a matter of personal knowledge. However, WordPress makes it easier because one needs to know less things in order to be able to do a good on-page SEO.

Might be its personal taste too, but after running my psexam.com for two years in Joomla, I am starting another site not in Joomla. Its not because Joomla is not good but I found wodpress much better for SEO. Don’t you think so?

Hi Aaron, your Joomla-based site looks great, I liked it very much. Indeed, there’s an active WordPress community, lots of plugin choices and lots of free templates which make it a flexible and easy to use CMS. Nonetheless, Joomla also benefits from a helpful community of developers. I think the K2 team will help things move a lot faster than they used to, in terms of new features (like the CommentLuv you’re missing).

I’m new to K2, but as far as I’ve noticed, it comes with a CSS file, which one can tweak to change colors and other layout elements.

I have been completely satisfied with Joomla. I have noticed there is a very larger and helpful WordPress community and it seems as if they are building momentum with the number of plugins. There are a few WordPress plug-ins that I would love to see developed for Joomla, CommentLuv being the first to come to mind.
The K2 theme looks great.Do you know if there are other color options?
