1) Wordpress
Best for simplicity for running the website, to get content refreshed takes a few clicks including sophisticated tagging, comments and best of all – plugins to do all sorts of things. Terrifically well supported.
2) Drupal
Superb for content creation, and often used for large programming projects with the CMS acting as a framework. It features a rich API for managing your content in a variety of formats, some of which are customised. It is a full fledged product and the work of an individual. Industrial strength and well featured and supported with a library of themes and plug-ins.
For a website integrated with specialised software we would normally use Drupal.
3) Joomla
A slightly easier CMS for the programmer to write stuff for, the content creation workflow is too hierarchical for me – not streamlined enough. Its templates are sophisiticated. I would choose Joomla for site builds that are more technical integration challenges, less for content creation.
