关于展示型网站,也叫宣传型网站,静态页面比较多的网站的建设,看看Dries是怎么回答的:

About page
I would create a static page (page.module) and link it into the main menu using the theme system options. (The theme system options are hard to find. It's problematic for new users.)
他将创建一个静态页面.
Contact us form
I would use the contact module in HEAD. If I were using Drupal 4.6, I'd write my own using the "PHP code" input format in combination with a static page (page.module). I would link it in the main navigation system using the theme system options.
他使用contact模块,并加一个导航菜单项.
A Products (or services page)
一个产品页面(或者服务页面)
I would use a static page and write XHTML by hand. To upload screenshots, whitepapers or other product related documentation, I would use the upload module.
他使用静态页面,手工的编写好XHTML放进去.
A simple front page with two paragraphs about your company and contact information plus a sidebar with links on the right or left which link to headlines from your five latest news articles.
For the front page I would use a static page (page.module). To create two columns, I'd select the "Full HTML" input format and use CSS to create two columns. For the news article block, I would use a contributed module that shows all nodes in my 'news' term. (I would wonder why such block isn't part of core.)
对于首页,他又建议使用静态页面搞定.新闻列表区块,则使用一个第3方的模块.
A news page with news articles about press releases, events and news.
For the press releases I would either use static pages (page.module) or stories (story.module) depending on how I want both to be styled (eg. author information, publication date). For the events, I might consider using the event.module. I would categorize them using one or more taxonomy terms.
对于新闻公告页面,他同样优先考虑了静态页面.
这里所指的静态页面,就是手工的编辑好,传上去,放到Drupal节点中.很多人把Drupal想复杂了,动不动一些地方都用动态的内容.看看Drupal创始人是怎么解决这样的问题的.大事化小,小事化简.一段简单的静态HTML就可以搞定.而许多人则舍近求远.曾经有人向我咨询,一个复杂的页面在Drupal中如何去实现它,我问他,这个页面变动大么,他说最多一两个月也就修改一次吧,我建议他制作好静态页面,然后放进去.那人对我的水平立马就有了怀疑.
看看Dries是怎么回答这样的问题的,如果简单的静态HTML内容,可以搞定这些,为什么还要将其动态化呢?看看Dries对这些问题的回答,对于产品列表页面他都主张使用静态页面去搞定,而不是动态化.
当然,这是一篇很早的文章了,2005年的.那时Drupal在圈内应该还没有名气.但是这里给出来的解决办法还是很值得借鉴的.一些1个月估计还不会修改一次的内容,使用HTML的编辑器,编辑好,然后将其放到Drupal的节点正文中,是最简单,最适用的方式.
