I’m currently doing the same thing but using Panels instead of Views. I don’t know if one way is better than the other.
With Panels you can create a page layout that suits your site then create the theme.
I am then just adding a new page for each tab and linking the content to it.

Subject: Re: [development] migrating static HTML page with TABS to DRUPAL

Thank you you for responding. I am so new to this. Therefore please apologize any stupid questions that I may ask.
 
I have our theme for the HOME page that is page.tpl.php which has a header content area and footer. For the conenet area I am using 3 column stacked page layout.
 
Mostly all sub pages have content on the LEFT side and navigation on the right hand side.
 
So what I understand is that I would create 4 different views for 4 tabs.Should I have to create another theme that would be applied to this page and other such sub pages?
 
Where will I place these 4 views?
 
What matrial should I read to understand this concept?

You would use Views to create a page for each tab. Under page settings, you will find the menu options. You should make a default menu tab with one page and a plain menu tab with the others.

Hi, I have to move our static HTML site to DRUPAL. I am one week young user of drupal and I am reading and learning from others experiences. I will appreciate if you can give me your suggestions on the best way to restructure the following similar page (with tabs) to DRUPAL?
