Fix borders of column on website

I am in need of someone who can fix the borders on a column for a website. The website is done, but I am having trouble making the borders of a center column look good. I would like to have css for a faded shadow border on the column, so that the background image displays below it. In addition, I would like my footer to hug the bottom of my page. This is a very simple project that needs the professional touch of an expert to make some small subtle improvements that I have been unable to accomplish myself. I can send screenshots to the interested programmer, but I do not want to reveal the domain name in this description.
