Hello guys! Im new here, just registered a while ago...
I've already used drupal in actual procedures, but the installation of modules and other theming of the core doesn't came from me, so I ended up using drupal without knowing to do from the scratch

These are the things that I already knew in drupal...
• Installation of Drupal in OS Platform of Windows, Linux and Macintosh
• Installation of XAMPP, LAMPP and WAMMP
• CSS coding and PHP coding, Database Management
• Already knew about, content, content types, modules, theming, admin config, nodes, roles and permissions etc.

Even though I knew about these stuff, I'm not pretty sure what modules to be installed for starting a static page...
Modules that will help me to develop websites more easily...

If you have any ideas to contribute please do share.. and thank you in advance guys... =)

You don't need any modules for creating static web pages. Drupal core gives you the ability to create content types (pages) and menus. So, see how far you can get with just core. You can install modules at any time, so you should not feel like you need to know up front which ones you need.

hi bander2 thank you for replying to my post... yes Drupal core alone is a help in building a static page, but I think there is a first batch of modules, or contrib modules that I will be needing, like (Views, Entity Reference, Content Types etc...). If you have any recommendation please share. Thanks again! =)

I agree with Bander. You are better off installing core, and then adding modules as you need them. If you install a bunch of modules up front, it can be overwhelming. Not only that, but you end up not knowing what functionality came from which module, and you may also end up with installed modules that you don't need, which is a performance hit.

.Ok thanks Jaypan and Bander, its better to be familiarized with the core itself... I should not be skipping the steps. I'll take the advice. Thank you so much :)
