        <RowDefinition Height="75" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="98" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

If I understand you correctly, you just want this code snipped translated to HTML/CSS. A one-to-one translation is shown below.

However, HTML/CSS is a different medium than XAML. E.g. there is no easy way to do Width="*" in CSS and there is no grid-system built in, so you have to build it with floats (this is for historical reasons, CSS was invented to style text documents, not build layouts). So I would recommend that you look at a more web-friendly solution: a widely-used HTML/CSS scaffolding framework with rows and columns is Bootstrap.

Crude one-to-one translation:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
    .grid > div > div {
        float: left;
        outline: 1px solid black;

        height: 100%;
        min-width: 30px;
    }

    .header {
        height: 100px;
    }
    .mainNav {
        height: 33px;
    }
    .secondNav {
        height: 29px;
    }
    .body {
        height: 30px;
    }
    .footer {
        height: 75px;
    }

    .grid-column-1 {
        width: 98px;
    }
    .grid-column-2 {
    }
    .grid-column-3 {
        width: 98px;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="grid">
        <div class="header">
            <div class="grid-column-1"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-2"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-3"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="mainNav">
            <div class="grid-column-1"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-2"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-3"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="secondNav">
            <div class="grid-column-1"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-2"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-3"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="body">
            <div class="grid-column-1"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-2"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-3"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="footer">
            <div class="grid-column-1"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-2"></div>
            <div class="grid-column-3"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
