I have the outlook of how I want my site to look. http://www.covenant7.com/missusaonline.html But my problem is how do I convert the look of my site to Drupal, without building the entire page from scratch. Is there a way that I can port over my content and then have drupal take care of the CMS infomation, such as registering and logging in and out, and having a profile page for users(models). Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

first of all, i really like that design

porting that layout to drupal should be possible - just a question of making a custom theme.

as for porting your 'content': do you mean to say you already have information in static html pages? If so, you would most likely have to write some perl script to gather all of that together into the database. or do it by hand

and is it Miss or Ms? Make up your mind ;)

First off thanks, It's going to be Ms., but this is just something I'm trying to get to work, so I use Miss for the url. How do I make a custom theme? I just want my first page and then I will use Drupal to make the other pages. The site graphic wise is done, but as far as content, that is what I'm still working on. My main focus is having users(models) log in and upload their information. I just want to know how I do I allow users to add their infomation. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

You can use Drupal for it, including the front splash page
http://drupal.org/node/32257

I would suggest the phpTemplate engine
http://drupal.org/phptemplate
There are a lot of other little things that you cna also do with php snippets and such http://drupal.org/node/39282
