Lukas,
I agree with Bill. Wordpress uses PHP, which is why I was asking if you knew it. I can teach you about Wordpress and how to modify the Wordpress PHP to customize the site. Since Wordpress has already written a lot of the code for you, the learning curve can be easier. There's also many plugins created by other developers that can customize the functionality and appearance of a Wordpress site even more. You only need to initially learn the basics of PHP and then, initially, just enough to complete the site for you. I just got through doing a customized website that included some of what you've asked for with another designer last month, Karen Frost ([email protected]) and I believe she'll give you a reference on how that went. Her site didn't require as much functionality, though, so yours would take a little bit more work and probably a little bit more knowledge of PHP but still definitely doable.
Thanks,
Ann Dobbs

I don't see any reason to recommend Drupal over WordPress for that.

    using Drupal and would suggest that cms.
