Re: Can this be done in WordPress?

Yes, that is very possible.

You will use wp_list_pages to display the pages for both the top and side navigation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages
What I normally do is create all the pages of the website, then I use the "include" property to make the top nav only display certain pages (no matter what pages the client makes later):

Code:

Then I leave the side navigation to display all the pages ever created.
