If you don't mind spending a little money, I would recommed buying Web Design In A Nutshell. <a href="http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=3445055&meta_id=1">Here</a>
is a link to the book on half.com where you can get it for around $6 after shipping. This book is not, however a tutorial. It is jjust a very good reference. Something that helps me (may not work for you, everyone learns differently) is to go to a page where I like the layout, right click it and choose view source (this is for most browsers) or you can download the page (usually File.. save as..) and open the html file in a text editor instead of a browser. You can look at the parts of the code you do not know and then look them up in the book to find out what they do and what the avalible settings are. Also, if you download them, you can change settings one at a time and the view the page in a browser to see what changed. Also, if you want a menu on your page, look at <a href="http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/">BlueRobot.com</a>
They have some cascading style sheets (css) that you can use for free and tweak to make them look like you want. Once again, CSS is a little more advanced than basic HTML, but it is not too difficult and is covered in the book I recommended. Hope the helps and good luck on the page.
