WordPress is now running an estimated 22.5% of all websites, and 60.3%
of those using known CMSs.
It's popular for a reason, it's really, really, insanely flexible. You
can make pretty much any type of site from it, it's days as just being a
blogging platform are long gone.
A *lot* of webdesign houses are swapping to it, and a lot are being
started. It's a lot of hassle (and can be expensive) to get a good one.
My biggest tip would be to turn the DEBUG mode on, that's just essential
whilst developing.
If you're looking for a good design/dev team, Code For the People are
awesome, I've worked with them before.
But, there's tonns of free off the shelf plugins & themes for you to
use. If you can, keep your number of plugins below 10.

Hi Steve
I'm not an expert on this and I suspect some other people on this
list know a lot more about it. However, FWIW, my company site,
www.mml-net.com [2], is running on Joomla. I had the graphics designed
professionally, built the template myself by tweaking one of the
standard ones (mostly changes to the CSS) and other members of our
team wrote most of the content.
I built an earlier site on Drupal when Joomla was still in the
process of forking from Mambo and it wasn't clear which, if either,
would survive.
I've played around with Wordpress and it is quite a lot less
complicated than Joomla. That cuts two ways. It's easier to do simple
stuff in Wordpress but I think it's harder to do more complicated
things.
If you've got the time, the simple answer is to try them out.
Kind regards
