Basically, I want to make a usual website using Drupal, instead of hardcoding. I don't really know how to explain it, but it would basically only contain a header, menu, static content with images/animations, footer and custom template.
So it would give the impression to be an actual HTML/CSS website, rather than a page/story-driven CMS. If you look at the above websites, they look like they have been hardcoded, while in fact all of them use Drupal

Views, URL rewrite

Hi, Hitmann. I think your best tools for making a site look hardcoded are the Views and URL Rewrite modules. Views allows you to list multiple nodes and assign a custom URL to the list. URL Rewrite allows you to assign a custom URL to *any* Drupal URL, including a single node. Hope this helps.
