I'd start with this:

=============
<body>
  <div id="site-wrap">
    <table width="760" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
=============

Reconsider the assumptions in that design (start by borrowing someone's
1920x1200 widescreen laptop.  Do you know your users' screen dimensions?).
Then you might handle the overlapping images with CSS positioning and the
z-index property.
