It really depends on what you want, what you have and how you want. Wordpress "supposedly" is a blogging CMS, but its so flexible you can even use it for web applications. (Of course, you will need to write your plugins in php). If you just want to create a simple website and you are not too tech-minded, I would say that Wordpress is a Go-to platform. If you have some time at your fingertips taking web applications seriously, Rails is a pretty advanced web application framework that is definitely worth it. So really, it depends.
