Hi Dtriana,

I've personally evaluated Magnolia for use in a mixed web / mobile environment.

I found that it did a pretty good job. I particularly liked the Sitedesigner features that they recently released. It's quite easy to implement design features in Magnolia. This really comes in handy for mobile environments that often require at least 1 (sometimes a few) different layouts to make the site look it's best.

The Magnolia support is also second to none. They really focus on solving problems and can help with just about anything.

Personally, I didn't choose to use Magnolia. Joomla is a very good option and has it's own advantages.

This decision really comes down to your abilities or the abilities of your development staff. If you're outsourcing this project, go with Joomla because it's well known. However, pick what you or your dev's are the most comfortable with.

The gaps between features, functions, speed, etc are closing and while there are still "best solution" CMS' for a variety of needs, based on your question, I'd say it really doesn't matter.
