There are so many dynamics in the decision for start-ups using an LMS. And I agree, for many, it would be best to start with a simple website (WordPress being obvious choice) and really concentrate on the quality of resources, and support. However, once you have multiple course, multiple users, and online training because part of your revenue and core service, an LMS is vital, and Moodle remains the best choice for most situations. One mistake I often see, that you didn’t mention, is that start-ups often implement a Moodle site, and spend FAR too long messing about with the Theme, colours, logos, design, etc. – when all they really need to do is have a professional and workable front page, and then put their efforts into really good COURSES! This is the real factor about whether the LMS and courses will be successful – and you could even have a WordPress site for the ‘marketing’ – which links directly to a Moodle site with nothing on the Front Page but the Login 😉
