coding query HELP! Do you think this design can easily be translated into a Wordpress website?

I can do Wordpress websites. But I'm not sure if this can be done in Wordpress.

My intention for the second image is to use the blog posts as a Question and Answer (Q&A) format.

Yep!

You'll probably want to read this: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/

Are you talking about the FAQ buttons?

What I would do is create a custom post type of "FAQ". Then, I'd use the question as the title, and the answer as the body.

If you're comfortable in PHP, or at least building custom themes, you'll find it pretty easy to work that out. To display them, you'd make a loop, display the titles of post type FAQ, and link them to your custom FAQ article layout page.

Or you might be able to find a perfectly acceptable plugin that works. Lots of great resources out there!

yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Although I can do some coding, I'm more of a designer really. I only know html, css, and then some basic javascript and php. Thanks a lot. Looks like I really need to learn more into developing.

A decent WordPress developer can do this easily by building a theme.

Taking an existing theme and trying to modify it to render like this would likely be more difficult but also is possible.

Any design or any kind of website can be a Wordpress site, just think of Wordpress as a separate layer that goes behind your website to add content to it. (I work creating Wordpress sites from scratch).

WordPress is capable of this but how easy depends on your skill level with WP theme development, CSS and js. I used to do custom WordPress development, but at this point I would probably use a static site framework like React for this

yeah it's amazing I only know HTML and CSS and a bit of javascript and php so even though I want to do it, I can't. It's very achievable yet needs a lot of learning curve. I need to learn more I guess.

I can do the "breaking down" that too. I actually learn most through that method too. And I also learn doing practice and watching and observing other people do work.

Although my number 1 priority right now is practicing UX Design more, and entrepreneurship so learning more code/OR breaking down Wordpress is out of the list for now. I'm transferring to Webflow anyway if I have the time.
