Hello Mehul,

for HTML you would need to find/modify/write your own css template. I find
the relatively recent Bootstrap package rather convenient for doing things
like that because it defines a grid right away out of the box and gives you
the means for defining columns and rectangular areas (boxes).
http://getbootstrap.com. See
http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples and
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/jumbotron-narrow/

There is a package integrating orgmode export with bootstrap called o-blog.
https://github.com/renard/o-blog. Here is an example of source code in a
second column next to text:
http://renard.github.io/o-blog/index.html (scroll down a little after the
large heading "Quick Start Guide").
