Joomla vs WordPress - what is best for my business?

It really is a golden age for any company wanting to build your own website or renew an existing website it is not enforced. Any entrepreneur with some experience on a PC or Mac, free time and the ability to write interesting texts, you could probably build your own site a free 'open source' software that has a level of functionality that would have cost £ 1000 not long ago.

A brief search Internet will provide plenty of options for your frame - Drupal, MODx, Movable Type, CMS Made Simple, etc - the list grows almost daily. So what to choose? Life is too short to compare all, so I just wanted to see the most popular and ask two - which is better for a business?
WordPress

WordPress is the coolest software ever going to get, and that's probably because it was developed initially as a blog software that was quickly promoted early bloggers - especially those involved in the design and photography. By his own estimate has more than 25 million users.
Joomla CMS

Joomla has been developed specifically as a Content Management System, has increased rapidly that nothing in the world. A CMS system, and has been downloaded more 21 million times in the last 4 years alone.

In addition to its growing popularity, both systems have many similarities - both "open source" free and the development of communities that devote thousands of plug-ins free for anyone to use.
WordPress vs Joomla - the business checklist

When deciding which system to choose, use this short list to help you decide:

1. What do you want your website to do?
Many of the companies use their website as an electronic business card, the site assures customers that the company exists and provides basic information contact and contact information. If this is what you want from your website, you will find the ideal WordPress' start-up "system. Other websites not much more - e-commerce customer service, registration form, etc. and blogs as a dedicated Joomla CMS tends to be better at handling large sites - both in terms of functions and on the web numbers. Of course, most business websites are somewhere between the two and there is no easily definable point at which trumps Joomla WordPress (or vice versa).

2. How you do want your website to grow?
Any good website, like any good business should grow with time. However, that growth can take different forms. Ultimately, may want the website to sell online, handle most of their consultations customers, allow customers to connect to their own section of the review of the project or route orders, Joomla etc. 6000 (and growing) plug-ins are designed to allow this kind of growth. In fact, you should make your website the future, and the community will welcome its entry into the different requirements. That is not to take anything away from WordPress community dedicated to more than 14,000 have developed plug-ins.

3. Style vs substance
This is a little unfair as they both offer great looking templates - for free or little. But WordPress has been defended by the design community so if the look is as important as content - and perhaps even more for companies involved in fashion, jewelry, photography, graphic design, books, etc. - take advantage of these themes WP impressive.

4. With a little help from my friends
An important factor is the amount that the support you need. I said at first that it is possible to build websites from scratch on their own, and if that is your intention then WordPress is the place to start if you have basic knowledge and want to up and running in minutes. Without But whatever system you choose will have to have a backup plan if things go as planned? Not because of any problem with Joomla or WordPress, but because you run out of time, patience or skills. Before you start to have a plan B. This could mean finding a support network. Can you look to friends, partners and even competitors to advice based on their experience of one system or another? Is there a local Web design and SEO companies who have experience in both Joomla web design or design that might support WordPress? Both the system has active communities - check out the forum to see if you feel more comfortable in a community than the other.

There is no easy answer and the decision was based on their immediate needs, future plans, the trust has in his own capacity and amount of aid required.
