I had not seen the Mambo site before your post. I was impressed with their business related template. As someone who is currently struggling to create a business Web site, I have been frustrated with the lack of business oriented templates I've seen through Wordpress (which I love using) and Drupal (which I still haven't tried). Dean,

The latter is a bit better, but it's still not very mature ... you will need some good techies and php knowledge. We have been using Drupal for our digital internship project (http://scratchpost.uregina.ca) and for another project on campus. I know D'Arcy Norman has lots to say about Drupal. Joomla is supposed to be pretty good as well. Have you check out http://www.opensourcecms.com/ ... you can test drive several different flavours. We have use Etomite and then its fork, Modx.
