Want to make layout similar to smugmug main page

[islandvibe]

I actually like the compact look of the main smugmug.com website. Would it be possible to emulate part of that page through css/html without a lot of hassle? I actually really like the big buttons (maybe for featured galleries) and then the spaces at the bottom for advertisers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm so-so at css/html using dreamweaver, but wasnt sure if smugmug had a faster way built in.

Thanks again
