"I am self-teaching myself web-design and the related stuff (Python mainly for everything, but HTML/CSS, C++, SQL and databases also) and a few years ago I also administered a Wordpress site for a while, so am a bit familiar with themes/addons etc."

Sounds like you trying to learn to many things at once. And you for sure do not need to learn C++ for web development. PHP is and JS/TS is missing from your list. That would be the languages to learn for WordPress. But there there are already plugins for invoicing and things you need out there, sounds like there is nothing too obscure that can not be solved with already existing plugins. So do you really need to be a programmer? Probably not.

There is a reason WordPress is used to much, I am biased because I am a self taught WP dev but WP and PHP and evolving constantly, there is a plugin for everything ...

You supposed to build a website, remote desktop, invoicing for an agency and their hired you for what exactly? What skills did you tell them you have?

Sorry but you sound very naive and I could not find what your actually skilled in. You look for "keywords"??? And you read one article about someone WP site getting hacked that makes you think WP is insecure?

Even if I try to be unbiased this sounds like a clear case for WordPress to me.

I may be hired as the bureau coordinator/SEO's assistant and on my CV I mentioned that I am just learning all this stuff from multiple online and offline resources. Formally I have completed 3 introductory courses on Python on Coursera and 2 certification courses on FreeCodeCamp in Python for Data Analysis and Scientific Computation (actually wrote and understood code), and watched (without practice) dozens of them on Django/Flask to get familiar which I would re-watch with more attention and practice by now. Because anyway I will need Python/C++ programming for my biophysics projects.

By "keywords" I mean just the names of the tools/frameworks/concepts.

I posted a few links about WP being hacked below. It may be that's all I've seen on HN.
