Drupal 7.x

I'm trying to determine if Drupal is the direction I should go or not... and am hoping some of you with more drupal experience could help me decide.

Currently I use Joomla for my other website, and I don't necessarily know if that's the best direction for me to go with this one...

Have a drupal site with content and require the assistance of the creation of a new theme to fit our proposed design. Please take a look at the following design template:

http://siteground185.com/~rtfi/echoinn.com/RTF08-2.jpg

key elements:
1) home, about us, contact us, login prompts at top
2) graphical background
3) Grahical header stretching width
4) Menus that show location in area under menu (can explain through additional emails)
5) Right panel links and navigation
6) arcticles

To clarify the theme a little more the design template represents the front page. We would have a secondary page layout, identical to the first, but instead of two columns in the main section there would be only one.

The top navigation menus we would like to have nesting. Currently on the design template we have "Ministry" "Training" and a few others.
We would like to have it designed so when "Ministry" is clicked a sub menu appears horizontally below that menu.

"Ministry" "Training"
"Receiving Ministry" "Seminars" "Resources"

If you clicked on "Training" the lower menu would change accordingly.

What I need from you is this:
1) Approximate starting time and completion time of the theme
2) What you need from us to begin your work
3) What is and is not feasible in the design
4) Your estimated total cost for designing the theme

Hi,

OK, So I'm trying to develop a useful, general-purpose hook (to allow modules to modify a $term object whenever they want - testing Catch's Term Hooks patch on a D6 backport thing)
bangpound attempted this in a D6 bridging module last month at the EOL/taxonomy code sprint called taxidermy . I saw that that module needed to remake a module_invoke_all-alike to work as intended, and it seemed odd.

module_invoke_all() currently runs a bunch of operations on a given set of arguments - and returns an array of data which is usually glued into the original subject to add info to it.
OK. That's sorta useful, but not as useful as letting the invoked hooks add their data to the object themselves as needed.
I think.

So OK, we can just pass-by-reference and it'll work. It works well for hook_form_alter, doesn't it?
No. A few experiments with module_invoke_all and mods thereof prove that although call_user_func_array() does refs, we cannot use func_get_args() and still get the info back to the caller.

Hm. OK, so how does hook_form_alter() do it so well?

Hello there,
I´ve been reading a lot lately about MVC architecture (Model-view-controller) and PAC architecture (Presentation-abstraction-control).

I´ve also red some very useful posts around here that talks largely about this MVC vs. PAC issue.
Those posts seem to be a bit old (2005 and 2006 mostly), but I think that applies for Drupal versions up to 6.x. I think Drupal 7.x will be different, as it incorporates OOP.
1. Drupal as a MVC Framework?
2. Drupal supports the MVC pattern out of the box
3. Does Drupal 5 has a MVC architecture?

Of course, I´m not a programmer, so it´s pretty hard for me to get things straight in the first approach, so, I´ve search for some other material that could help me to understand this.
These are the most interesting resources:
1. Drupal as a MVC Framework?
2. MVC vs. PAC
3. Interactive Application Architecture Patterns
