Just wondering, is it possible to use my old design that’s within PHP and CSS, the main page is HTML Formatted but saved as page.php and has some includes I use. But I really don’t want to be having to redesign this. I’ll be happy to just leave it and run no CMS until a rebuild is needed. But that’s not going to happen for 2 years.
Also how would I go around that if lets say i have a team member wanting to write a new article, which is within a new page set in blog/new_atrical.php and use the already designed article page, how its set with the current CSS Text layout and div layout. The wrapper div and the main page div are both set to auto so you can write as much as you want within the page without the text going outside the div area.
Now when someone writes this article, i have already coded the the index.php page within the blog area, which displays all the articles, would then the cms take the title of the page, make it into a link, take some of the text from the article page and then also take the image from the page and resize it so it fits within the image DIV. And the same again and again every time they write a new article.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some screen shoots, ill tell you about what i would like the CMS to let me edit, add.
Here are some includes already used
The Red part: This is from the gallery, and all the gallery content for the main index display within the gallery are displayed like this.
The Light Blue part: The light blue is everything inside the blog listings, such as within the blog index
The darker blue: This part is where all our features are kept.
Screen1
Ok here is the standard page we are using, this is used on everything bar the gallery, the gallery are in thumbles and are opened with the lightbox script.
Screen2
Apart from the text within this, lets say a feature from the dark blue is submitted then a set image size is used, and normally some added text but not a grate deal, all the text is the same bar the main title, the darker right side colum cant be edited as ill do all the editing for this.
Screen3
Ok so we was talking about the features, well they sit like this within the features section, they are the same as whats on the index page so editing is made easy and im currently using includes.
Screen4
Ok heres what the layout is like within the blogs, as you can see the image is small, and to the left, there is a main title which i hope to be the same as the main title on the screen 3. set in blue, the title should be the same on this screen shot as the title on the screen3, and the same on the title of the page, also grab some of the text, not all of it. and if an image is uploaded into this then it posts to the left, otherwise it uses a NO IMAGE. 
Now i dont need the CMS to edit any part of the nav bar, links bar top and bottom or other content, just want them to edit the parts seen here within the screen shots, thats all i really need..
Also I have on the index main page, first one when you put in my URL I have a section which displays some of the blogs but then once 10 of them are posted it stops. So the main index page isn’t over loaded and scrolls for ever.
But my problem is, it’ll not display all the new ones, only the 10x out of the includes I want it to be able to take the top 10 which are the one items and display it each time there is a new one, so each time new article is posted it’ll post it on the blogs/index.php section and then within the index.php small display section.
Just wondering if this is possible.
I’m sorry if I sound silly or dumb but it’s the first time I’ve looked into a CMS
Ps. I’m happy to donate towards the CMS.
If anyone can link me towards how a CMS Works in-depth or a short idea on what you need to do and how they work would be much appreciated
I hope somewhat you understand what I’m asking for and that I’ve not linked to any part of my website due to advertising and in-case of any rules implied with this website

More in-depth of what im looking for.
1.Ok to start with i need my team to edit a page, so lets say they need to write a new article. I wanted them to edit the main page title, then add the main inpage title, edit the text and insert some images, or an image.
Once thats done and saved for that information to auto submit into the blogs, or features deppending on where they are adding a new page. So lets say for now they are adding a new page within the blog.
So they have done section 1 and now i want it to take the page title or the inside the page title and post it within the div, but make it into a link, so get the page name such as page.php and link it. Now onces thats done grap some of the content text wise and then grab the image, so it'll set like the above screenshot
