I'm now in process of reducing the numbers of module used in the website. I will disable Panels and several other modules, but still using Views.
(The website is not too complicated, but because many modules involved, it become quite slow.)
Instead of using Panels, I'm customizing the appearance through dozens of template files.
But I just wonder, is it possible to create new page without using Views or Panels?
<html><body><h1>This is a page</h1></body></html>
:P
