[support] Another Drupal vs WordPress question

[Cory Gilliam]

Question is "When is Drupal to big for a website?" When would WP fit better? Or even when would home-made-code fit better?

WP when you need something real simple. 
- Custom content types are not needed. 
- Custom views are not needed.
- Shopping cart is not needed.
- All you really need is a single post type with title, body, image, and category. (Custom ones can be done through the theme, but must know WP theming system and php)

WP is easy to set up and easy to teach to other people. Problem come in when you need more info about the plugins. Finding documentation on the plugins is a nightmare. A lot of the time the features that are promised in the description are only available when you purchase the "pro" version of the plugin.

If it is a real simple site, with very little content change, a few hand coded html pages would be the simplest way to go.
