Make multiple templates for site (new one for many pages) So I have my page-front.tpl.php and page.tpl.php.  I'm making a music website for a client and literally only need like 5 or 6 pages.  How can I basically make a php page from scratch for each page?  Thank you.

P.S. I think I'd rather make it all from scratch than use panels
Drupal has flexible theme system. You can create different sections of your site and theme and select dedicated template according to path. This is what I am suggesting you.

e.g. your site has different pages(paths) targeting different sections.


example.com/music                   (page-music.tpl.php)
example.com/artist                  (page-artist.tpl.php)
example.com/artist/profile/%        (page-artist-profile.tpl.php)
example.com/store                   (page-store.tpl.php)
