I'm in charge of moving a somewhat large static site to a CMS for ease of use, and to allow it's user base (Currently limited to forums), to comment on the various news posts, articles, etc.. And up until now, I've been trying to get this done using Wordpress, however I'm really feeling the limitations of it - especially when it comes to the owner's obsession with having a custom login and registration page (Which, admittedly, is ugly as all sin in Wordpress and is hardcoded into wp-login.php for whatever reason).
Is this possible in Drupal? When I say customization, I don't mean adding a few profile fields... I already know that's possible, but what I mean is actually changing the page's html, css, etc. to fit the design and not have the tabs or anything like that - just a complete makeover. Is it possible? Any tips for me to get started with this?

While I'm here, I may as well ask if it's possible to forward a user to a new page after they sign up? Maybe to, say, a tutorial or a specific article.

When it comes right down to it the login/registration is just a form & you can theme the hell out of it, although to be frank I have never needed to thus my full knowledge of how to do so is a bit shaky, but in D5 you'd do a phptemplate callback, here's a rudimentary starter I found - http://drupal.org/node/154242 and of course you can go to town and achieve a lot with CSS only.

Re "forward a user to a new page after they sign up" - you can do this with the http://drupal.org/project/logintoboggan module. I imagine there are other ways as well.
