Would like to see easier way to create custom Composite Layout

In the course of designing a new website in ProsePoint for a small daily newspaper, I've reached the point where I'd like to be able to set up a 50-25-25 composite layout.
Granted, I could use CSS to reformat an existing layout, such as 25-50-25 or 33-33-33 ... but what if I then want to use one of those layouts later? That means more CSS to define when I want to use the default for the layout and when I don't. Aargh.
I've been researching Composite Layout, and I saw a posting on the Drupal site about how to create a custom layout ... but all the coding is a bit beyond me. It would be nice if there were some way of being able to create a new custom layout that would work for those of us who are not coders or programmers!

Along the same lines...
I'd like to see (if it is possible) some composite layouts that come pre-populated. That is, you select a composite layout and the nodes are already there, all you need to create are the articles. This would go a long way toward making ProsePoint quickly usable. Or, fail that, someone offer a ProsePoint theme with the same out-of-the-box composite layout features.
Hi,
A 50-25-25 layout might be worth considering adding sometime in the future, but I have no plans to do so anytime soon.
Unfortunately, adding layouts is quite complex, and I don't see any way to accomplish it without coding of some sort. Sorry.
