Hi to all,

so far my site is based on flash and I want rebuild it from scratch and html based as maintaining a flash site is not easy enough. I'm able to do some actionscripting, but never bothered with html or php too much...

I made a layout for my new page and wonder if it easier to do and maintain this page in drupal or in dreamweaver.

here is what I need:

http://lukasgopp.com/drupal-6.4/layout_simple.jpg

I started playing around in drupal, but don't see a way to place a logo and a horizontal menu on the header...
the sidebar on the left should maintain a sub menu, that appears according to the link clicked on top.
each of the links on the side should load a gallery/slideshow done in dreamweaver (html/css and a simple *.js) and some description text.

Does it make sense to use drupal for this?
can i upload somehow a gallery done in dreamweaver?

I will have a total of 20 galleries, or so.

thanks to everybody!

This should be pretty easy to do with drupal. see the http://drupal.org/project/menu_block_split module for handling your split menus. As for theming, you can go through the existing themes, choose one similar to what you want and edit it, or you can use one of the starter themes like zen to create your theme from almost scratch.

I have no idea what type of galleries dreamweaver creates so i can't speak to that. I make galleries with the cck/views/imagefield/imagecache/lightbox2 modules for ultimate control. There are tons of gallery modules though--- including one to integrate the menalto gallery2 application. Since your site is going to be mostly about your galleries I recommend setting up a test site and trying them out to find one that works the way you want it to.
