Yes, you can build a website with just HTML that has a left/right margin and a central column of content. But you can not build a forum (which you have and is php), export tracker, or article management system with just HTML. The forum and article management system require a server-side processor and database and the export tracker requires a server-side processor. So my point was, did he want a website that looks like that or works like that. They are entirely different, require different resources, and one wouldn't take near as long as the other to complete.
