If your intention is to setup a business directory i would suggest Wordpress/joomla.

Wordpress and Joomla are easier to manage

I think Joomla based websites kinda look Maybe it's the ones I've seen but I'll stick to Wordpress for now.

WordPress rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Osclass is the best for adverts!

All CMS will work, it all depends on the template and plugins you use.

Here is what I actually have in mind. It would be a business directory, which would be a kind of photo gallery of products.

I said use WordPress easy to configure for such task or better still use Drupal.

Do you use any additional plug in, modules or extensions for your listed cms?

I recommend joomla but you need to use premiumextensions, plugins for your site to standout.

yes there are more than enough free plugins for your WordPress site.

there are some great plugins for adverts for both joomla and wordpress. However if you want an advertising platform which is built specifically for advertising here is what i would do.

build your website, but specifcy where you want your adverts ( the developer can assist with this) and in the backend allow for some simple HML code to be inserted.

then install OPENX on your server this is a hosted and non hosted advertising platform which works great, check it out there are lots of features plus its open source thus allowing for customisations and specifc methods to be build if you require them.

If you need assistance with development feel free to get in touch
