Going crazy trying to create a simple PHPTAL theme

I'm going insane at the moment.

my club currently has a website at http://playlacrosse.co.uk/

I am trying to recreate this using Drupal as the content management system - so members of the commitee can add news etc..

Drupal usus PHPTemplate by default for its templates. I have no knowledge of php but have been trying to follow the guide here to turn the old site into usable theme in Drupal.

As you see at http://www.eastcoastlacrosse.co.uk/playlacrosse/ it hasn't work well.

I have posted on the Drupal forums but haven't recieved any usable responses.

Can anyone here help at all please?

i dont know about drupal, but modx is really easy to make themes and can do what you are wanting.

meh - my head hurts.

I choose Drupal as read it came first in some awards somewhere, but It has been hard going. The thing is I have most the funtionality I want. I just need to theme it now.

What is modex like for things like adding news content, image slide shows, videos etc..

quite hard to get the hang of, you need to spend a bit of time learning. Its more a framework than something like drupal.

Its not like otehr cms's.

It might not be best for you.
