Hi koda - welcome to Wolf! It is probably worth grabbing a copy and mounting a test install to become familiar with the possibilities Wolf gives you, but perhaps you feel like the online demo gives you enough of a glimpse?

As for the specific concern:

This certainly can be accomplished through Wolf, though my hunch is there isn't a "drop-in" solution for the scenario you give. There are at least a couple gallery plugins available, though I'm not sure that either of them do precisely what you want.

It would certainly be possible to manage this using Wolf's very powerful page-part feature. It would be fairly simple to manage the galleries as "pages" and use the page-parts to do the day-to-day management of images. In this case, you might want to make use of the Assets plugin.

I hope that's enough for a starter! Of course, we hope you give it a go and we're here to help if you do!

Thanks so much for the response David

It was very helpful. from what I understand this can be easily done through page part because what I need is essentially a side menu bar that holds items that will load their own set of images into the gallery plugin. I also want my admin to be able to add or remove items to and from this gallery.
I will definitely install Wolf today and give it a try.
Also I wanted to know whether or not I could incorporate other galleries into my pages (other than the plugins) or can the plugings be reworked for example through a CSS in terms of their look.

Thanks again
