I started working on a website using Wordpress as a CMS and so far im not to happy with how im suppose to build this website. I’m thinking of just moving the code to either Modx or CMSMS and was curious what you all thought would be the best choice for my needs
The site is for a friend who doesnt know much about computer so it would have to be user friendly
These are the following features I would need:
General
Easy for a person who doesnt use computers much to operate
Easy Image uploading/cropping/resizing
Edit links ON the actual website when logged in (if possible)
Ability to remove certain things from my friends username once they log in like the page templates so they cant see/change them.
Home
Rotating image - Is there a way to have an image easily uploaded and resized/cropped to fit in this area? dimensions would be 780px x 230px
About me - Brief editable description of the business
Projects - I have a projects page, so I would like for the projects to automatically update with the top 3 most recent projects.. would just be the Title and a brief summary.
Testimonial - A random testimonial pulled from the "clients" page with the persons first/last name at the end..
Projects
This is the page I’m having the most problems creating with wordpress, what I’m trying to do is when a new project is added like site.com/projects/project01 I would like an image with a title and description to be placed on the Projects page site.com/projects/. Im trying to do something like www.camtessadesign.com/portfolio
Would it be possible to do this from the cms without having to deal with xhtml/css?
Clients
Simple page with "Clients name" and a testimonial below it.
About
Simple Description witt an Image on the right that the client can change by uploading/resizing and cropping.
Contact page

I know its alot/very specific but just wanted to make sure i got everything before i decided to remove all the wordpress code and just go into another cms.. so would CMSMS or Modx be better for what im looking for? or another solution?
