Marc,

Not sure exactly what you are talking about but...

Drupal themes typically have sidebars. Out-of-the-box Drupal installations can easily populate the sidebar or sidebars with information put in custom blocks or blocks generated by modules. The main content column is typically populated by data coming from nodes (stories, pages...).

It seems like you aren't asking about anything more complex than what comes out-of-the-box in Drupal.

If and when you do need more complex page layouts, one popular module is called Panels (http://drupal.org/project/panels). Just be warned though, Panels is powerful and flexible but also pretty complex to use. It would be better getting experience building simpler Drupal installs first before beginning to fuss with panels.

But as I said, unless I'm misunderstanding your question, Drupal out-of-the-box does what you want.

Hi All,

I'm wondering if there is a simple way in which I can present content
per page side by side, that is, split down two vertical columns?

I need this so I can match the old site's current themed layout.

The left is bare apart for some credits for the image above it, the
right hand side is the main content for each page.

Any suggestions?
