    One is more general, user-friendly and quicker for the average person to set up.
    One is more powerful, less user-friendly and has a longer learning curve...read code-heavy.
    WordPress is the former and Drupal is the latter.

    What are you trying to build?

    I'd go with WordPress. There's lots of great Premium themes that can more than deliver such a site.
    My favorite source is themeforest.net

    Don't count Joomla out. Depending on the features of the site, it's sometimes the easiest of the 3 to manage and to theme. My advice would be to download and install all 3 (Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress) and have a look at all them before you commit to any one. Installation each of them is easy and just takes a few minutes, so it's well worth spending the little bit if extra time to make a more informed decision.

    I would recommend WordPress as well.. both other systems are for group administration and high volume systems. You can get your custom layout converted into WordPress for a couple hundred from a freelancer. ..

    ill break it down a bit.
    Drupal is mainly built with a community of users in mind
    Joomla is pretty complicated for a first timer.. i have spent countless hours answering questions on how to do things.
    WordPress was built as a platform to create and share content, easily added and pages that are created easily.. geared for a single user and multiple readers -and those boundaries have been long shattered with community plugins.
