Need help content type showing?

I am bit of a drupal newbie. I'm trying to find out how I can display my content types on my page?

For example I have a bunch of content type called clients with a name and logo and a page called clients. I want to display the clients content type on that page.

Any help?

Use the Views module to achieve this. Using Views, you can create pages, blocks, panels, etc. From the Views project page:

What is Views

The Views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists and tables of content (nodes in Views 1, almost anything in Views 2) are presented. Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted.

This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes.

Among other things, Views can be used to generate reports, create summaries, and display collections of images and other content.

For more information on Views, take a look at the Documentation.

For your use-case:

Create a new view (of type "node"), create a new display (page), add the fields from the content type that you want to display, choose a type of display (table, grid, HTML list, etc), add a filter on Node: type to only show nodes of type: client.

That is a basic start, you can also choose how many client nodes to display, if you want paging, different sort orders and much more.
