The Layout:
If you don't know how to make a guild layout, just choose somewhere else. I suggest not making your own custom layout at first- unless your a pro. Take some layouts that you like. Then, when you can make your own guild layout, give it a shot!

The Council:
The guild council is one of the main things. The people that are on the council should have some admin. Here is some info:
The leader:
The leader is the creator of the guild. He/She is the person with all admin, and can do anything he/she wants with the guild. This is an important job, because leaders are the ones seeing if anyone's active, following some rules, etc. If the leaders are not active, then no one would be controlling the guild, and whats the point having a guild with no active people?
The second council member:
This job is probably the next important to the leader. He/She also controls the guild, but doesn't do as much as the leader. Basically they are like a co-owner. He/She also has to be active.
Speaking of activeness, all of the people in the council have to be active xD
The third council member:
The third council member has to also be active. They just help the leader and the second council member, for they have a job too. They don't have much admin, but they still have to have some, or else what's the point of being in the council?
The fourth council member:
The fourth council member can be anything, as long as he/she's active. They can maybe be a manager, who manages things around, as long as she has some admin and can manage people around the guild, and knows a lot about the guild.
The fifth council member:
They aren't that special. They probably were the most active member in the guild, and they just had to choose someone to fill in that spot. They only have a little admin, but they help a bunch.

The rest is your choice. Put sub-councils, groups, anything!

Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned for Chapter 3 of Making a guild!
