Wanted to backup what most of [USER=3505]@craigh[/USER] was saying in terms of PHP. Over 80% of websites use PHP. I think it has a "bad" reputation because it's so old and has a low barrier to entry. There's nothing particularly wrong with it.


As for Wordpress, it depends who is using it. I can see how the average user can find it limited. They can't drag and drop stuff. They might have to fight with templates and so forth. For a developer, you can create your own plugins to do pretty much anything you want. From a developers perspective, Wordpress is highly flexible.


Security is a common concern when it comes to Wordpress. A good host will force security updates, disable bad plugins, and take care of other vulnerabilities. Keep things up to date and don't install anything shady and you should be fine.
