I was going to say the exact same thing. Depending on the complexity of your
needs, Wordpress could suit you just fine. I've also thought about adding
the Pods plugin to provide the equivalent of Drupal content types.
For my work website I've chosen Drupal because I'm a masochist and figure I
should learn it. I have to tell you that I program PHP/MySQL from scratch
and it's a lot harder for me to learn WP and Drupal, because they are other
peoples' designs for modular PHP/MySQL frameworks. I keep running into
"That's not the way I would have coded it!" issues that may or may not be
valid.
Before you begin the project, map out the entire site architecture and
determine the number of different content organization types you will need.
That will drive both your site construction, and your CMS choice.
