Hi all,
A friend and also a family member want to "tip-toe" into the world of websites.
Coding their own sites is out of the question and even the Expression Web and other such applications would probably prove to be a little complicated.

Looking through their hosting they have access to the "Softaculous" installers, giving such options as:

Zikula
Joomla
Geeklog
Drupal
Mambo
PHP-Nuke
SilverStripe
Website Baker
Pligg
MODx
Xoops
Typo3
Concrete5
Zazavi

And a few others.
These guys want to create personal websites, things that interest them, you know a "general site".
Can anyone recommend any of the above for their "easy to use" or pretty low learning curve?
Not having used any of them myself I'm a little stuck as to which to recommend.

Thanks.
 
Oh Wordpress is also on there :)
I didn't list that as it comes under "Blogs" and I don't think they really wanted a Blog layout.

Wordpress
b2evolution
Lift Type
Dotclear
Textpattern
Nucleus
Serendipity
Open Blog
eggBlog
Pixie

Is it easy to customise Wordpress into a "non-blog" kind of site?
 
Thank you all for your suggestions.
I'll give Wordpress a go and see how friends/relatives get on with it.
