I'm trying to use Joomla to build a website. This may not be the
right approach. But in any event, I want to get an attractive site
up quickly, but as I dig around it looks like I'm going to be
doing a lot more HTML and CSS stuff than I expected. I was going
to use a template that uses the JA T3 framework, which I thought
had an admin panel. I have gone through some of the Joomla
documentation, and am just lost at this point. If i have to do CSS
and such, I'll learn it through Codeacademy.com but I would like
some tips, if somebody could point me to the right direction. I'm
open to using another CMS if it would be easier. I just want to
get a relatively simple but compelling site up for my small
business. Should I use a WYSIWYG editor like Kompozer?

I'm just lost, and need some pointers so I can actually understand
what I need to know to get where I want.

In my opinion the lines are drawn clearly. If you are looking for
1. Simple Blog site
2. Company website with a few pages
3. Basic news/magazine site for simply posting content

Go with Wordpress.
Warning: WP is a bit insecure as compared to Drupal so you need to
keep an eye on keeping it secure.

If you are looking for complex site where you are publishing
different kind of content and want complete control over how it looks
and are also ready to get your hands dirty go with Drupal.

Drupal is extremely secure and powerful.

Joomla? Tried it once and found nothing of interest.

Hi Swapnil,

Thought you might have an interest in this if you haven't seen it
already:
