WordPress which is mostly recognized as a blogging software is actually a CMS and that too a powerful and flexible one. It can be easily tweaked to something you want, although proper coding will be required for that. It’s not that it can be done without much changes in the theme or the admin panel (this mostly depends on the need) of the WordPress itself.
