I'm looking at building a website and extranet on my CentOS server for my home business. I use PHP for my intranet but I hear PHP is a big security sieve.
To build and maintain a secure, functional and cross browser compatible site is probably several full time jobs worth of work.
Using a CMS will probably save you a lot of hassle.
Just looking for one with a reputation for being secure probably won't help much, as you'll no doubt need to use add ons etc. so you need to assess a few CMSs and see which one provides the more secure package for you by the time all the features have arrived.
I use Zope/Plone for its accessibility, functionality and ease of use. Going with something simpler may give you a more secure total solution, but I don't think Plone is considered particularly vulnerable.
