How do I construct a custom frontpage as showed below ?

Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<table width="800" height="455" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td width="8%" rowspan="4"> </td>
<td width="42%" rowspan="4" style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed">Block A</td>
<td width="25%" height="20" style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed; border-bottom-width:0px"><strong>block B title</strong></td>
<td width="25%" height="20" style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed; border-bottom-width:0px"><strong>
Block C</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed;border-top-width:0px;" width="25%" height="150">[Block B]</td>
<td width="25%" rowspan="3" style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed;border-top-width:0px;">[Block C]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="20" style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed;border-bottom-width:0px;"><strong>Block D title</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="150" style="border-width:1px; border-style:dashed;border-top-width:0px;">[Block D]</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

Use the AutoTheme module. It has a built in start paqe function.

Found a solution:

1. make a PHP center block, include your own PHP file.

Another option is to make your own module and call it to the front page. If you take, for instance, the legal module - gut it and rename it, then its pretty easy to make a simple module. OR you could use the postwrap module to "wrap" around an external HTML or PHP file.
