Make it in Fireworks then slice it up and sort all the HTML and coding out in dreamweaver... they were made to be used together and the easiest imo

to recreate this I would set background to black.
Create a 3 by 3 table. set the percentage height and widths of each cell to produce a grid where the center square out of the 9 is the one I want all my stuff in (like in your pic)
so imagine
[O][O][O]
[O][X][O]
[O][O][O]
basically X is the one you want to resize and eventually put all the stuff in.
Then I'd make another table inside, I'd allocate space for the bar across the top of that cell for a menu, and then the 2 seperate cells below, 1 with a picture and one with a iframe that shows another page (allowing you to scroll)
a quick style script for the scroll bar colours and text add content and done.

iframe is like an individual text box within the page well at least i think thats what he is on about.

Iframe is like a window to another page. So basically you do a iframe to another page which just contains the text for your little scroll window thing on your page.

except do it properly so it sits flush and doesn't have the bottom scroller.

i make window fit to size so the content fits in ... but if your content needs to be scrolled set the propeties to "show scroll bars when needed"
