There's no reason you can't learn to 'develop', html, css and php are the most easily learnable things, with learning curves that mean you can get encouragingly good results fast. Of course you can spend your life continually learning and improving, but they're only tools for - what you do - design. They're tools to design user experiences. If the extent of your 'design' career is just pushing pixels for how a website will look, then you're missing out on half the story. Get stuck in, it's not hard, honestly. Using your left brain will only reinforce and encourage what you can do with your right.
Wordpress will get you easy results in a very short time, but it's no substitute for learning properly from the ground-up. You'd struggle to pick apart the code, styling and templates that it produces until you're at least mid-level. Sure you could make simple, obvious changes, but you won't be in control and it would be very easy to make a mistake you didn't understand and have to learn white hot, which is not entirely pleasant. Although can be effective.
