I have just started using pixelpost, after removing my coppermine gallery, finding it clean and simple to use athough I have limited knowledge of html and vitualy none of php.
What is a wrapper ?
 
Wordpress is a blog
Joomla is a CMS

No point in using Joomla as a blog, it is a heavyweight, and unless you need the extra functionality

My current wedding photography site is a hand coded static site
 
I'm running a custom wordpress theme on my site, combined with a bunch of jQuery and a few other bits and bobs. Wordpress v3 is going to be a lot more like a CMS than a blogging platform. Which is nice. Still prefer it over Joomla which is like fighting a war of attrition.

wordpress can be used as a CMS, and Joomla can be stripped out to be a verysimple blog, so both can be used, these things are not black and white. most folk will find wordpress to be easiest, while some will prefer joomla.

Yep, and wordpress can be stripped out to have a static site front end feel

yes, thats handy if you want to make a clean front page, Joomla can do that too but the wordpress way is easier. I tried making a product directory with wordpress, that didnt work so well though
 
Joomla for me. I wanted something I could push business cards to that was more professional than my photo store on Pbase. it works ok running as a copy on my local pc so I can develop though took a bit of a learning curve. Hardest bit for me was how I wanted it to look. The technical bits came easier :D
 
Another one using Wordpress.

I was using Zenphoto for my gallery but it wasn't looking very integrated with my WP front pages. So I've moved to WP + Nextgen Gallery.
 
I develop sites with joomla, I picked it after a long evaluation; generally I put in a set of add-ons including a commercial template. I've found it very easy to maintain sites once I've built them, and usually the client can do that without my help. I've not done a photo gallery with Joomla. Overall I found it more flexible than Wordpress for the type of site I produce.
 
I'm working on a Joomla site too and I'm paying someone to help a lot with the design and layout side of it.

I think it looks like something more solid than a typical blog type page and something (one day) I will be happy to send paying clients to.

So many add'ons and plug ins it's hard to know where to start.

ive always used wordpress. i originally used joomla but i found it too much of a faff on...

if you know HTML and CSS and basic PHP you should be able to edit wordpress to do what you want to do... its a clean code... joomla is too much i think.

if i had more time i would probs use joomla but since i dont have the time fanny around with it ill just stick with wordpress.
 
I voted other. I have no website building knowledge so went with weebly.
