: How to build a site that I can make regular updates with a user-friendly GUI I need to build a site for my church with the following functionalities: The main page listing all the updates

I need to build a site for my church with the following functionalities:

The main page listing all the updates from other pages if some content is added
Different content types on different pages that get updated very regularly - like podcasts, event schedules and stuff like that

Now the real catch is that I'd like a nice GUI front-end that allows the user to add new content like new event schedules, videos, podcasts, pics and announcements and other such stuff.

Is CMS the only way to go? If so can I customize my content that I want the CMS to manage? Like can I write my own webpages or does it have to be the CMS' themes? Also if this is the only way, which CMS should I choose that'll be easy to use - Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal or something else that you think is good? I have zero experience with CMS except that I use a free Wordpress account and use the Web UI to make posts.

If you have zero experience with CMSes and/or are not an experienced programmer then I highly recommend using Wordpress as your CMS. Wordpress is very capable as a CMS, is very easy to use, and you're already familiar with is as there is very little difference between the hosted version and the self-hosted version.

You can also choose from a plethora of free themes that make customizing it very easy to do.
