This is probably not as hard as you think. Firstly, create a boring static HTML layout, with no effects. That's what Google likes. Make sure it's good, simple, semantic code. No tables for layout, spacer.gif's or anything of that sort, this will impede your ability to format things later on.

Then take a JavaScript library like jQuery (probably best for what you're trying to do, it's got some great effects). Use jQuery, CSS, and your own Javascript (using jQuery) to create the style and effects you like.

If you get stuck on anything specific, let us know. Welcome to the forums, and sorry this reply is so late.
