It's a site that lets you try out various CMS solutions before you go through the hassle of installing.

I plan to try Joomla first but I've been hearing mixed reviews on it myself so I'm open to exploring other options.
I've seen some very intersting web sites build around the joomla platform but if you can't work with php/mysql it won't work well for you. Joomla-powered sites LOOK good but the stock layout IMO blows. I installed it on mysite and fooled around with it for a few minutes and havent had the time to delve back into it. I will say that it is pretty complex. I don't know how it is coded so I can't really say how easy or hard it would be to modify some basic functionality and deisgn.
