WordPress! It offers a wide range of extensions - plugins, themes, widgets etc.

isnt wordpress a blogging cms

Yes, but it can be easily extended into a complete CMS through its support for pages ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#WordPress_as_a_CMS ) and custom forms ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cforms/ ).

ok so can i create community driven websites like yelp from it?
