General rule for just about every CMS, if you want a standard site and there is a template that fits your business they are easy to use.

There are plug ins for stuff like ecommerce, galleries, videos, etc..... that make them fairly plug n play.

If you need custom content then they can tend to get more difficult than if you coded something from scratch.

The one thing that applies to everything whether you code from scratch or use an out of the box template is content.

People will peruse templates and find some great looking stuff but when they use that template for their site it looks like ass because, they have garbage for visuals and lack content. Often it pays to get professional photography done.

Think of it as looking at a house staged with furniture from Fendi and it looks awesome so you buy it then are disappointed when you move your **** from Rooms To Go into it and it doesn't look as nice.
