There is loads of things to read about Drupal, lots of sites you can see using it. Best to do some research first to see if Drupal will work for you. I don't think it is a question people can answer for you.

You can define a homepage in /admin/settings/site-information. First create a page that you would like to be the homepage and then set the Default front page: * field to be that page.

As for the footer, depending on the theme you are using, you can simply create a block and put it in the Footer region.
