I've been using Wordpress for the past 4 years for developing small and medium websites. Now I have an enterprise project and I'm considering using Phalcon PHP framework.
My enterprise project will be handling a large amount of users and will be publishing articles with images. This is why I still want to use some sort of CMS.
I think framework like Phalcon is great for service and business layers, but it lacks the GUI / services found in various CMS's like Wordpress. I know Phalcon Eye is in development, but it's in very early development stage (I think).
Can Phalcon MVC be used alongside any CMS? If yes, wouldn't the speed of Phalcon bee compromised by much slower CMS? (And what CMS is recommended?)
Update
The first version of my enterprise project is currently using WP for handling user registration, page / template handling, articles etc. But that's just a small part of the solution. All other code is custom and I've realized that should use a solid framework like Phalcon, Laravel, Sympfony etc.
Update 2
What if I use a framework like Phalcon for my custom code, present data and form handling. Then I build a Wordpress service that will retrieve articles from WP DB's. That way I would not need to use wordpress for presentation, but I can use WP for handling articles, images and maybe even users. Bad idea?
You can use Yona CMS (built with Phalcon) with modular structure and great speed of Phalcon Framework.

There are few large projects working on this CMS.
