I would like a tool that allows me to layout the portal and then
develop
pieces to fit in it.
Forgive me, I don't remember your web-development skill level. If it's
not great I would _not_ start with a portal-like product. Portals can be
great (I'm not sold on them, but many are). However, to do their magic
(skinning, pluggable modules, drag/drop design, etc.) they can have some
_very_ complex code in them, both on the client-side and the
server-side. That's why things like WebSphere Portal and Sharepoint
aren't simple deployments. I would strongly suggest that you start w/a
simple web-app where you can control all the parts.
If I misunderstood your request, and you're looking to do something more
on the personal "home page" side of the world, then DotNetNuke is nice
from the .Net side, PHPNuke, on the PHP side and I've heard great things
about Joomla, but I've not heard it. These will allow you to deploy nice
portals, but developing for them requires that you understand how they
work.
