I have to admit I agree with Gordon here. These open source free to use systems very rarely offer to true flexibilty required to create a professional looking and as importantly functional site.

In the good old days I was a bit of a dab hand at hard coding through dreamweaver and the CSS etc. however I haven't kept myself in the loop and over the years my skill set has shifted significantly to a more business perspective. I prefer to look at these things the same way as I do any tradesmen. Find myself a good reliable one and they will do you for life. I wouldn't purchase "plumbing for dummies" to fit a new bathroom, I'd call a plumber and get it done properly.

I'd just always prefer to focus on the stuff that really matters to my business rather and let professionals take care of things when I need specialist work done.

Cheers

Paul
