Do you mean that you want to
Do you mean that you want to have a front page with 'pure' html and the rest of the site is your Drupal theme?
Check out this module -- Front Page
http://drupal.org/project/front
It allows you to set a completely different css style for the front page.

Yes, you can do it. All you
Yes, you can do it. All you need to do is to identify the module and make them in the Drupal . Later Design with CSS. Simple :)
...
anything and everything can be done with Drupal, so you can start with a pure html/css layout and fill in the blanks with php code that outputs the content from Drupal.
what you're looking for can also be achieved, there's a setting in Site information, where you can change the default frontpage to any other Drupal URL. So you can create a new node (Drupal term for content item) and point the frontpage there and create a new menu item to have it pointed to /node (the default frontpage). The two default content types might not provide you with enough flexibility, in which case create a new content type using the excellent CCK (Content Construction Kit) plus if required some additional CCK modules.
You can also always use Views and Panels to create more flexible content lists (Views) and layouts (Panels). Make sure to check out some tutorials on these three modules (CCK, Views, Panels).
Thanks
