How do you do this in Drupal 7? I would like to place the following items that are unique to the home page:

  1. A views_slideshow
  2. A row of 3 large images
  3. Some normal typed content
  4. 3 most recent Articles

I could manage this on a normal page, but I'm not sure how to put it on the home (front) page.

You may be interested in the Panels module. You can create custom layouts, include views/custom content, and more.

From the project page:

An Overview of Panels
The Panels module allows a site administrator to create customized layouts for multiple uses. At its core it is a drag and drop content manager that lets you visually design a layout and place content within that layout. Integration with other systems allows you to create nodes that use this, landing pages that use this, and even override system pages such as taxonomy and the node page so that you can customize the layout of your site with very fine grained permissions.

  • Is there a standard way to create a homepage that does not require learning another complex module? Or is the Drupal way to know a lot of PHP or learn a bunch of powerful Modules? Commented Oct 19, 2011 at 11:58
  • Generally, if you don't know PHP, you will have to solve more problems with contributed modules. You could always create a custom front page template (page--front.tpl.php) but you will need to know PHP for that direction Commented Oct 19, 2011 at 12:56
