For the general look of the site, I use Artisteer to create a template for Joomla. You don't need to use Artisteer for this, there are many Joomla templates out there. But I wanted to have control over the look of the site. I use a Joomla add-on called JCE (Joomla content editor) for the actual editing.
What I like:
I like the content management model - the site has a front end and a back end - this makes it very easy to update. Joomla is open source and like Blender, you get incredible power for free.
What I found challenging:
Joomla is very different from Frontpage which I used before, so it took some getting used to.
I am definitely sticking with Joomla - it makes the site so easy to maintain.
Very soon I hope to add online training to the site, and for that I intend to use Moodle - which is also a content management system but geared to training and education. It is possible to integrate the two platforms.
