Before you start

Well, I've just started using drupal, I've been trying to figure out how to add my first page etc. and I'm not really get the results I need.

My website is www.lucassavoie.com

As you can see, theres nothing there. I don't know how to change that or make my homepage. I'm familiar with html
pretty new to making sites.

It's basically a website to show my art portfolio for colleges/universities so all I need to do is
add a few art pieces up and put a few comments on them.

Dear all,

I have Experience on joomla but i'm a newbie on Drupal if i can get an opportunity to do like this website users profile list like
http://www.lawyercentral.com/contra-costa-county-lawyers-CA--21-6013.html

i will change my joomla project to Drupal.

but first i need you advice guys

I'm putting together an e-commerce-like site in the very near future (starting work this weekend hopefully) with an eye to getting something out there in the next month or so.

The question is which Drupal version do I use? I'll be subscription selling nodes which are hooked up to a backend system so as well as needing custom code I'll likely need:

For some time I want to use Drupal for a proyect for a lawyer firm, but don't know where to start looking for directions.

I'm need to build a system where an anonymous user can fill a webform to send data like name, address etc, a complaint, and file upload capability, along with another text input fields.

Later if our staff decides to represent the anonymous user, an account will be open for him/her where he/she can check the status of his/her case.

Howdy!

I'm about to start a project which I'm considering Drupal very keenly for it. However, I'd like a few opinions/comments/suggestion to make sure Drupal is the best tool for my project.

The project is community site which will have two main user types: clients and users. Clients will be able to create profiles, update their profile with an available/unavailable switch, create private galleries (both photos and videos which users will have to pay to view). Users will have basic profile details, plus the ability to rate/review clients, add to favourites, view private galleries. In order to do that we'll need to implement the following features:

- Private video/photo galleries accessed only after registered user has paid a fee
- Video optimiser
- Photo optimiser (I've being using TimThumb in Wordpress a lot and thought about using it with Drupal as well. Has anyone used it? Good? Bad idea?)
- Advanced search
- Banner management
- My Library (all purchased video and photo galleries)
- My favourites
- Review system

Hi All. I've gotten my first serious Drupal project. I'm thinking of using Assembla for project tracking, repository, bugs, etc...
For servers, I'll be hosting with rackspace. I want to set up both a development and production machine. Should I be using two separate VPSes for these? (assuming I'm going with VPS for now). Also, how do you guys manage deployments; moving finished code to production. Is it: ( repository --> development )--------------> production (prod release each week for instance)? Can this process be automated?
