I found a template I really like for Joomla. Yeah, whatever, I'm using a template.
Anyway, I loaded it up with demo content for speedy setup and now (being my first time using Joomla) realise that it's a bit of a nightmare!
So, the way I seem to understand it is, everything is separate. Menus built first, then this is the structure of the site to start assembling modules.
I like structure and everything but it seems a bit daunting thinking about putting a site together in this way, worst of all, keeping track of the structure.
Isn't there some sort of visual editor where you can drop in modules? Even if all the settings still have to be changed in the standard way.
I'd probably build a site from scratch quicker otherwise, and I'm not even a developer.

I mean, even a tree view of the structure would be progress compared to the mish mashy-ness of just having a list of modules.

If you're just starting out - I'd recommend Wordpress over Drupal and Joomla.

If you're just starting out, and its not a huge site I recommend a couple of things over Drupal and Joomla, including:
CMS Made Simple - http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/
Pretty intuitive templatingConcrete 5 - http://www.concrete5.org/
Great user editing experience, fairly easy templating.

Drupal and Joomla are both a bit of a learning curve more than you may want.... like taking a 747 airplane to go to the corner store....
concrete5 and wordpress look far simpler to me, or at least less filling your mind with randomness...

And the support factor? Are you kidding Wordpress, there is no comparison.

By the way...
Post and if you cannot figure it out pay a small fee. Great idea!

don't really like that questions site - and kind of defeats the object of open source community - just my opinion

I like perch for sites that dont need much more functionality than to be able to edit the copy and images.
You just build your site in HTML/CSS and then bolt in the text and images from the CMS. So easy.
