I think a phpnuke (I think that's what it's called) would be good, It makes it much easer to add content etc... Although setting it up is harder.

If you decide to stick with html, you can get a good template and then you don't need any tables.

I reaken it's a great idea to redesighn the site, sometimews I discover pager's I never knew about before.

You can at least be sure that even in its current state it is way better than the psudosciesests site's.
