They just want to point and shoot as it were, as opposed to having to work their way through endless menu systems.Wordpress is reasonably easy to use for clients, but I'd like to try Drupal on a project and was wondering if there is such thing as a 'Drupal Lite' version?

Personally, I definitely prefer Drupal unless its just a blog. However that could change. @Anthony Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla are open-source content management systems. As a custom website designer I would't touch Squarspace with a ten foot pole. Or recommend it to anyhow. As far as I can tell Squarespace is like Wordpress.com except that it costs money and you can't host it elsewhere. Quite the opposite of open source.

It really keeps the developement going for both of them and everybody wins. Have been using WP for 3 years now and starting to look alternatives and how they are doing things now that I know what WP can and can't do. It’s great that those two are on competition.

I've been administering 2 WP sites for more than a year, and now I've been learning Drupal. Drupal is extremely more flexible than Wordpress, we can do stuff on it that over WP would be impossible, but also Wordpress comes with a lot of ready-to-use features. I feel that if everything we need is inside WP narrow limits, WP is the best choice, but we can get pretty impressed on what Drupal can do. And when we need something that is beyond WP limits, Drupal can do it with much less effort. But lately I've been disappointed with Drupal. WP popularity makes it have many more plugins and with nice features, like Archive page, Colapsable Archives, Counterize... Drupal is more comercial oriented, and as long as I've seen it doesn't have these kind of features available as advanced as Wordpress. What I'm feeling ATM is that Drupal can go further than WP, but taking more effort too. Because of that, I stopped learning Drupal and I'm gonna learn PHP for now. Drupal seems to require more PHP skills than WP to be tweaked. Very interesting!

If it can provide the flexibility of CCK on top of the platform I'm most comfortable with then it could be just the ticket. Thanks for the tutorial link, off to check them out now.
