One of the biggest things holding me back from moving forward with promoting my business is that I never had a professional web site as I'm not artistic at all and can't do web design. Enter CMS's and a lot of those problems go away!
I've been trying to figure out what CMS suite to go with over the last half year it was between Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal and I finally decided to go with Drupal and learn how to customize themes and maybe learn how to write modules down the road. Drupal is pretty complex but it seems to have the widest range of options and ability to customize - it also allows sub-themes which is pretty neat as well.
Below are the 4 themes I have narrowed it down to out of the themes that cost $$. There are also some really nice free themes that I'm considering but I'd like to get opinions on the ones that I may spend dough on. The hardest thing was determining what version of Drupal these would run on!
There aren't nearly as many themes for Drupal 7 as there are for 6 but it seems like 7 is a better option.

If you have any input on Drupal before I take this step and mainly investing my time learning it (I can still choose Joomla or Wordpress) please let me know. It seems like those who work with it like it and those who work with Joomla like Joomla, so I'm really interested in the opinion of those who have worked with both.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments!
The next hardest thing is making the banner ads for the site. I might be out-sourcing for that if anyone has any good suggestions on that as well.
