The portal 'how to' on wiki is herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal_guidelines- it may be you haven't written this type of template before but could figure it out :)
Thanks!
"template" isn't really the right term. In fact its entirely possible to build a portal without them. Its more a series of tables (classic web design circa 2000). Templates may then be dropped into those tables but that's a secondary issue. As usual the most viable approach given your timescale is to find an existing design you like then have it tweaked.
