The more I’m looking into this, the more I’m starting to think that WordPress is not an ideal solution. If anything this has made my life far more complicated needlessly. I had chosen WordPress for one reason only – So that my uncle can upload new photos to the web site easily in a blog-style format, i.e. “Here is some work we did today for a customer!”.
To get the functionality I’m looking for feels ‘hackish’ and more like a work around. Can I just implement the ‘Gallery’ page in WordPress and leave everything else hard coded?
