Wordpress is awesome!
I launched my new website on wordpress, if you find the right theme like I did, it so easy to create it into a proper website in a matter of hours. It makes launching new sites, so easy when you can have a cms, a running website in a couple of hours.
I found the standard themes quite poor in features, or were overly complex, and looked to premium themes, I just load the head image, and tweak the stylesheet a little to give it the right colour scheme.. and it was ready for content.
