title: Is WordPress suficient for this project or should I use a framework or a different CMS?
body: <p>I am a web Designer that recently decided to expand into developer waters as well :). What I have in mind is to build an elaborate portfolio site that will also contain a blog. The sites sections will be standard for such a project - something like Home, About, Portfolio, Contact and Blog. </p>
  
  <p>The <strong>Home</strong> page will contain some static parts but also feeds from the latest additions to the portfolio and the blog.</p>
  
  <p>The <strong>Portfolio</strong> page will have sections on the different types of portfolio pieces (like logo, print, web etc).</p>
  
  <p>The <strong>About</strong> will be completely static.</p>
  
  <p>The <strong>Contact</strong> page will be static and will have a contact form.</p>
  
  <p>The <strong>Blog</strong> page will basically have your standard WordPress blog structure.</p>
  
  <p>At first I was thinking of doing the whole thing in WordPress (since I already have some experience with it) but what got me thinking about different options was the portfolio part. I want the portfolio page to be quite differently stylized than the blog page and yet I want to have the possibility of doing quick and easy additions to it trough an admin panel. </p>
  
  <p>So please give me suggestions and direction about what would  be best for me to do? Is this thing possible with WordPress? Should I instead code the whole project with CodeIgniter (or a similar framework)? </p>
  
  <p>I am quite good with HTML &amp; CSS. Comfortable with jQuery. Trying to get better with PHP :).
  I am willing to learn and improve and wouldn't mind trying a CMS or a Framework that Ive not had experience with before.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
