Fortunately, billions of modules exist and besides, it is not difficult to customize them (through CSS most notably). Certainly, Remy, but this is something I am really not capable of.

Actually in 2006 joomla was elected the best CMS of the year. (http://www.joomla.fr/News/News_officielles/Joomla!_vainqueur_du_concours_du_meilleur_CMS_Open_Source_2006.html ). But I think that when you want to develop a website, using joomla will force you to adapt yours ideas according to joomla components and modules. Finally you never obtain what you wanted at the beginning, but it can be a good surprise. If you want to use joomla really efficiently, you must be able to develop components or modules by yourself.

When you don't, CMS are pretty handy. The real question is: how does learning how to use at 100% a CMS compares with learning PHP/HTML/CSS from scratch ? Well, I believe Joomla is a good compromise, despite its shortcomings. Oh sure, this is the best way to proceed…when you’ve got the skills& knowledge for it !

I prefer to write everything on my own so I can customize the hell out of it to each project. Not a Joomla fan personally,
