Not sure where to put this, so please move if it is wrong forum to post this.

I'm thinking about which system to use to manage website. So, how many of you have used any Content Managment System (CMS) and what is yout experience with them? At the moment I think I will try out SilverStripe.. I will also give my opinion about it for anyone that might be interested.

Also, which road should I take on designing the site? Should I go with regular style, which people are used to. Or should I go with something different, so people will remember this site. I think I will try both, easy to use, yet looking different.. dont know how to do it really. So any ideas are welcome (also sites you think look/feel good)!

EDIT: Looks like SilverStripe has some stupid system that you have to pay them to get custom template.. So now Im testing Drupal
