A client has approached me wanting to have a CMS for a new site.
They need to add news(accept comments) - with thumbnail image generated, add/edit page content, add events, add bar opening times, bar menus, a Gallery and also want to bolt-on some existing PHP app that I have built on another site.
Can SS do all this? I know the latter is a big ask.
Thanks for any help with this.
And finally, what is the best way to test it? Just practice with it, I guess?
I would ask you to look at a website I am working on.

accept comments - yes, existing feature
thumbnail image generated - yes, existing feature
add/edit page content - yes, existing feature
add events - yes, with a small amount of php
add bar opening times - yes, with a small amount of php.
bar menus - yes, with a small amount of php
a Gallery - yes, a module exists
yes Hamish is 100% correct, see my website it has got all the things you need. and it has some reservation functionality too.
