Mambo, mamboserver.com Is pretty good, its opensource as well, and is used on a few large websites, at least modafied versions of it are, its fairly secure and allows for a lot of customization.

You could try MODx for a CMS. It can be very slick-looking and includes a great deal of customization and control features. modxcms dot com

Well, I saw some nice sites made with Subdreamer. Also, I used to use e-mail account with the free e-mail provider (+portal) based on the CoreMedia CMS, but I'm not sure if you would be able to afford such CMS.

man
Geez, there sure are a lot of answers in here, and a lot of CMS names are being thrown around. The most important comment has not been posted yet -
1. What are you going to be doing with the site? Do you need a shopping cart, picture gallery, discussion forum, games, private areas for members only - just what do you have in mind?
2. How good are you at writting PHP or HTML? Some of these CMS's themes are written in php, some are written in html. So if you want to change a background color will you be able to do that, or will you have to hire someone? Is it in your finances to hire someone everytime you want a column width changed, or a font size changed?
The second question should divide the CMS's that have been suggested into two sections - php themed and html themed.
As for myself, since I do not speak php, I have to go with a html themed CMS. For my sites I use MDPro found at http://www.maxdev.com
One of the CMS's I tried was dragonfly. The CMS dragonfly seemed to run very fast, and I was impressed that a picture gallery plugged straight into the site. However, the themes are php based. I found out that changing anything on the theme was time consuming and complicated. So dragonfly was abandoned for a html theme based CMS. To save you the trouble of learning this same mistake - divide these CMS's into two catagories PHP themes and HTML themes. If you speak both, then fine, pick from either. If you speak one or the other, go with what you know. The other option is to pay someone to make changes for you, or get ready to spend hours learning to do it yourself.

Dragonfly (formerly CPGNuke) is a Nuke clone and if you want to be considered "professional" you don't want to use that -- Nuke and it's clones are well known for their security vulnerabilities (though DranonFly is the best of the bunch from what I've read and seen

is a dead giveaway. That's the ONE thing I have about Exponent. They say they are working on that feature but as far as I'm concerned they can't get that out fast enough.Tim Ryberg, InterWorx L.L.C. | InterWorx Hosting Control Panel 3.0!

Its not fair for you to point the finger at a nuke clone and say - well known for security issues, while new patchs are relased from people like microsoft weekly.
More security holes will be found in the operating systems, and server applications then the CMS software.

The community would not reply to questions about the problem, so I had to leave postnuke and go with another CMS - this was almost 2 years ago.
Unless you are gonna search for and fix the problems that might arise with your site, go with a payed CMS so you can get support.
