When choosing the right CMS for your small business website it's important to consider what the pros and cons of each CMS are.
Most Open Source CMS systems are complex to cover every possible functionality (whether needed by you or not) and will require a web programmer to make customisations to tailor it to your small business. Examples of open source CMS systems are Drupal, Joomla & Wordpress.
If you are a small business then a CMS like The Toolkitthat is feature rich but designed & tailored for the needs of the small business is ideal.
Most small business owners are told that Open Source is the best and most cost effective solution for any website. However this is nearly always put forward by small, start up web design companies who by using Free, Open Source Software don't have to invest in their own systems.
As the CMS systems are not their own these companies don't usually provide any support, customer service, protection from hackers or daily back ups.

Summary
The Toolkit
Perfect for the small and medium sized business who need a professional website. Great for people who consider ease of use and customer support at the top of their requirements. An all-round great CMS with very high security.
Wordpress
Ideal for everyday blogging, personal or non-commercial sites, hobby sites and news websites. Good for people with small budgets and some coding knowledge. Security is a big problem and often causes issues.
Joomla
Best deployed as a community platform, due to strong social networking features. Can be a bit tricky to use at times and support may be harder to find.
Drupal
Best suited to complex and advanced sites that require complex data organisation. Possibly the most difficult to use and requires developer knowledge.
