Answer to a Formspring Question: Preferred CMS Platform

This question came to me courtesy of my profile on Formspring:

“Which CMS platform do you most often recommend people build their sites on?”

To which I replied:

“Hello! I’m a bad, bad Formspring user. Just noticed this question now. Aren’t I supposed to be notified whenever there’s a new question?

If one were to think of WordPress as a CMS, then I’d say that WordPress it is THE content management system that I mostly recommend.

I was once involved in a project that ran on another CMS called ExpressEngine. It was very challenging to make any modifications without hiring some expert – and pricey – professional help. Maybe others have had better luck with it, but that incident definitely left me with a sour taste in my mouth about Express Engine.”

Is there a CMS that YOU prefer?
