Can drupal support 3 sections with individual menus etc.

Hi.

I am considering Drupal as a CMS to a new website we are going to put up.

It consists of 3 different main sections, and each of these sections have their own sub-sections which is not supposed to be viewable from the other two main sections. That means a menu only for each of these sections. is this possible?

Also: the head of the page (ie: the logo and some "meta" menues; about etc. are the same for all the sites pages no matter what section is this possible when at the same time using the structure described over.

The frontpage of this site works like a portal for the site where you choose the section you wan't to go to. As far as I have managed to understand, the frontpage module can help me achieve this?

Thanks from Andy

It is possible to have a different menu in each section

The easy way to achieve what you want is to use the path and possible path auto modules so that you can "name" your paths.
So it you have sections named partA, partB and partC, you can construct paths that start with the section name (ex: partA/intro, partA/details, partB/intro etc).

Then you can create one menu per section and control which pages the menu show on.

As for the frontpage it may help in this case though it is not really needed. You would simply make a page with content for the home page and under administer -> settings, set it as the default home page. You could also have a fourth menu that lists the sections and make it available only on the home page.
