Yes, XOOPS can do the layout you have put there. You will have to build your own theme, but you can use XOOPS for ANY site you want. With a theme framework like Morphogenesis (or the others) coupled with the Blocks Anywhere (2 versions out there, each with its own strengths), you get a highly customizable setup. I also started using jQuery extensively about 1 year ago on my sites which adds another level of interactivity. What we don't have yet is the ability to have users move blocks around on the screen ala a Google home page or such. Would be nice, but that is another layout framework, requiring j-script, and AJAX is another aspect that would be a positive integration. The philosophy of XOOPS has been to have a bare-bones, standards compliant system and then allow the developer to put whatever front end they want on it (allowing j-script or not as needed and desired for their users). I think most developers make their own frontend theme framework based on others and then merge them with each particular design.
