Alright, so I've been trying to learn Joomla, and in the process have been trying to recreate the general layout of my team's existing site. I've got the Joomla setup on a localhost, so I don't have to take down the existing site until I figure it out. The main problem I've encountered is how to recreate the general structure of our existing site. It consists of a number of entirely static pages, which only change when a change is made to whatever it describes. For instance, pages about the game, robot, etc. I can only seem to create a sort of blog with Joomla, though, which I only want to do with things like the news updates and meeting summaries. Everything else is entirely static. I'd also like to recreate the menu layout we have, since Joomla's main menu module seems to clutter up really quickly.
The existing site can be found at
http://www.team2996.com if that helps show what I'm trying to explain. I'm trying to find a good way of making the dropdown menus along the top bar, and then make certain pages without that blog feel, and other sections as mini-blogs of sorts. If anyone needs clarification on what I'm asking, feel free to ask, since I don't feel I've adequately explained this. All help is very much appreciated
