The Layout you are shown in youre Post is a CSS Box Style with CSS Menu.
(CSS = Cascading Style Sheet)
You can use Firefox with Firebug Addon to Analyse/Debug a Webside in Realtime.
It takes about 2-3 Houres to learn how you can make a Layout like this.
It is really not hard and it makes fun to work with.
All you need is Notepad.exe, to start.
If you want to learn, just ask Aunt Google for CSS Box Layout. ;-)
If you only want show Content, without a User Section or Forum you dont need
a CMS like Joomla, Drupal or else. Its not hard to make a static Website
how didnt have Dayly changing Content.
When you need a CMS cause you have Reg.Users or else spend 1 Day to learn a bit
over CSS, PHP and read the Doc. of the CMS how to create or change a Layout for
it.
At the End of the Day you will be able to create youre own first Layout for
youre Project. Sure it will have Bugs :-) but after 2 or 3 more Days
you have a Layout that will runs ;-)
