the first thing to do is install drupal core and see what core offers you.

You can use Story or you can create a content-type it depends the way you want

do a test installation and mess around until it starts to look interesting. That's what I'm doing. You won't get a good website handed to you - you have to experiment and find out what works for you. You get free software, but not free site design.

I do google searches for something like <drupal 6 search module> , or what ever you need. It's surprising where it takes you if you don't mind taking the trouble. A decent site is going to take time to develop unless you are already an expert.

There isn't "a module" for that-- that's what you build with drupal. For an idea of what can be accomplished with drupal see http://drupal.org/cases and http://buytaert.net/tag/drupal-sites.

you can do that page with core drupal and no modules.

simply make a page content type add your HTML switch to the FULL HTML input format save the page.
