Creating a website

You could always just build a static xhtml/css site, or you could alternatively use one of the other popular CMS like Drupal.
What type of website did you have in mind?
Why don't you want to use Wordpress? It's easily the best CMS out there, and you can still make a stunning site with it.
Coding HTML is going to be 10x time-consuming.

It's a dating website and I want to include video as well.
Reason being is you can't use adsense with Wordpress (that's if I decided I want to put adsense on my site). I'm debating of whether to add adsense or not and just focus on selling the info produts. Plus I want my site to look as clean and professional as possible and I'm not sure if Wordpress can offer that.
Wow, where did you hear this?
So wrong information you have. You certainly can use adsense with wordpress if it's the software downloaded from wordpress.org and installed with your host. You cannot use adsence on wordpress.com.
Also with wordpress you can have very professional websites. Agan, I do not know who told you otherwise. For example just go to themeforest and look for wordpress templates.
Google around for something like "wordpress inspiration", and you aren't right about adsense not being allowed on a wordpress site.
good luck building something like did from scratch with no prior coding experience.
But yeah like everyone said Wordpress is the way to go, I only use static html for some landing pages and even for those I nowadays use Wordpress.
There is a nice "one click" install tool available for Wordpress now. This is built into most cpanels.
You then just need to get a nice theme from Themeforest.net.
You can search for Adsense plugins from within your Wordpress admin panel.
All of the above can be completed in approximately 30 minutes. 25 of which would be spent hunting down the perfect theme.

Who can stop you to use adsence when it's on your host?
Wordpress.com is hosted by developers of wordpress software, it's free but they have their own conditions, one of them is that you cannot use your ads, including adsence.
Wordpress.com is on their servers with their ads and crap. You don't host it.
Wordpress.org is the downloadable framework where you can host it on your own server and all that. You can slap adsense on it or slap your penis on it or whatever it is you like to do, you sick bastard.
Agreed. with all the plugins wordpress offers and the easability, your losing out by not using them.
I have always used Wordpress for my sites, and haven't had a lot of experience with others (Joomla etc), I was just wondering if there were any instances where it would be beneficial to use an alternative?
Thought I may as well ask as I dont like the idea of thoroughly testing them all!
Does anyone have experience with the others? Most people I have spoken to just stick with WP.
Not that I want to change from WP - I love the variety of plugins available, hell most of the time I have to ask myself "do I really need that plugin?".
However a competitor has started to use Joomla, for some reason, and I wanted to know if I was missing something, or do they just like extra work?
Thanks,
Sam

If you're actually building something semi complicated or database intensive pick a framework or build it from the group up. If you only know html you're a bit over your head.
If it were me I'd probably use ExpressionEngine or Drupal if you have to go open source.
