Good question..i think you are going to have to do something in paint or photoshop and then just import the photo into your code! that will probably work...the only problem is getting that picture looking good and not looking like a 1st grader did it (which is pretty hard on paint)

<frameset cols="*,*,*" rows="*" frameborder="0" scrolling="NO" border="0" framespacing="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" >
<frame src="../left.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
<frame src="../middle.htm" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
<frame src="../right.htm" name="rightFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
</frameset>
In the aboce HTML if you want to change the width of each collumn change the <frameset cols="*,*,*" asterisks to match the column width for each frame, the first * is the left frame the second is the middle frame and the third is the right frame. (It looks like you are going for <frameset cols="25%,50%,25%" )

My site looks a lot like your layout.
The best way to do it is to use tables, not frames. Frames are a pain in the butt if you're only using them for decorative purposes. With tables it's a lot easier, trust me.
As for the reflecting effect, I'd go off and create a small image file in Photoshop, or, my personal choice, Fireworks. And then set up your site to have a table with three columns. Two of those columns would be for your black background, and the middle would be for your content.
All you'd have to do then would be to set the background of the two outside columns as your "reflecting image" and Bob's your uncle. Lol.
If you're still stuck, or you want help I'd be more than happy to work with you to get your site up!

I guess nobody looked at my above code... took me less than minute to write.. and all you need to do is create three html documents... how is that a pain?
Frames are not always the best way to created pages but with something that simple, why make a table?

like stated above... if u want html... granted that you know.. create tables and make the bg color black, align left and right.
then.. since it looks like text in the middle...and if u might have issues putting things in the middle..put all the text in a div box.
position them all absolute.

Tables vs Frames has always been a big issue.
My site uses frames and tables, but only for a navigational aspect. If you're going to use frames for nothing more than layout then it's a waste of web space and time.
Frames make it hard for people to bookmark your site, they make search engines have a hard time listing your site properly, not all browsers support them (and then there's the issue of breaking out of frames!). The majority of users on the Internet hate using frames.
In my oppinion tables are the better way to go. But that's just me, if you feel like you just have to go out and turn a simple page design into a complex one using frames then that's your forte. For inexperiences web designers frames are a bad idea.
