Basic Configuration
Check out the Drupal:
- CCK (content construction kit) module for creating custom content types: http://drupal.org/project/cck
- Views module for setting up and outputting content, akin to a visual query builder: Anyways here is the links: http://drupal.org/project/views
- Panels module for building custom layouts: http://drupal.org/project/panels
Each module provides a GUI for configuring content types, setting up your views, laying out your content. You also have the option to store the views and layouts in the database or in a template file. Storing the code in a template allows for easier version control.
