Headers and footer's and indeed menu includes in php are very 
straighforward. For instance in your index.php put:

<----header content------->
<?php include ("header.html")
<----end header content--->

A problem I have with CSS is resolving browser compatability problems. 
Something will line up and look nice in Firefox but will look a mess in 
IE (or different versions of IE).

But these days I'd look at a lot of the "blogging" tools to build a 
website. WordPress, sBlog or CMS like Drupal, Mambo etc..

There is also CMS made simple.
