Like many other content management systems, Drupal is built on PHP. With PHP, you can dig up and make it do whatever you want. Similarly, you can dig into Drupal and make it do almost everything that you want-well, almost.If you are not afraid of writing PHP code, then the sky's the limit. If you're limited time and will to learn PHP, then panels is probably the way to go!
If you're looking for a high degree of control, as regards individual building blocks that make up the output of your Drupal site, you can choose one or more of the following.In order of complexity (and decreasing silliness) you can A) generate an XSLT, parsing system, rerendering what already is rendered from Drupal from your custom form created for custom XML output, B) become a theming Drupal master (a topic for another series of videos), or C) use panels and be done with it.
My suggestion is to go with "C" and be done with it. hope this video will provide you with the beginning of head you're looking for, when working with the form of panels.
