Start with something that already does mostly what you need and you can tweak or fix the way you like. (Really everything is content management, data capture, and workflow right?)

As you grow in skill and familiarity you will add features and configure more pieces to work together.

After all of this (in years) you will hate everything you’ve done and have had to do to get things working (and they have.) You will dream of a day when you can scrap it all for a new from scratch exhibition of all that you have learned.

Someday you will.

Until then, just hobble things together so they work in the environment you are most confident in, like everybody else.
