Recommendations for a CMS for self-hosted portfolio site?

My friend and I recently built a shared projects site that is structurally very similar to a designer portfolio site. It used to be a static site built manually page by page using HTML/CSS/JS with no template system.

We recently switched to a self-hosted WordPress installation to allow for some kind of templating and to allow page and content creation via a basic management system. But we seem very restricted by what WordPress and the chosen theme allows.

Are there any recommendations for a CMS that fit the following needs?

- Free and self-hosted

- Very basic template to manually managing and creating pages (doesn't have to be as overkill as WordPress)

- A basic interface for creating a page of content, and to add to a main page with a gallery of items leading into those individual pages

Thanks!
