Joomla! is the second most popular CMS on the web, after WordPress. It's kind of an in-between in both complexity and customization, and ease of use when compared to WordPress and Drupal. If you want more than a blog than it might be the right solution for you. I've been working with it (the basics) for a couple years, I want to say since the 2.5 days. Mostly inheriting sites that were already built in it. It's a little goofy to learn the layouts with modules and articles and components but it's not too bad once you get the hang of it. It usually runs on a LAMP stack but you're not limited to MySQL or Apache and you can even run it on Windows. And of course, there's a million free templates out there and extensions to do all kinds of stuff. The latest version (3.5.1 at the time of this writing) is available here

Any thoughts on creating a page as a modules vs an article? We have a couple low-traffic Joomla sites and they've usually been made by me showing a marketing intern how to do some stuff and then turning them loose. We're going to do revamping of our sites where we combine them all into one at another date. Anyway, our marketing manager was trying to make some edits and it turns out of the interns (who's no longer here) made one of the sites to use a module for every page instead of an article - so with some tweaking and prodding I was able to make the changes she wanted, it wasn't a big deal. I think this was done because the intern said it wasn't possible to do certain things with HTML in an article so they used a module. What's the difference/catch in doing it one way or another?
