In what sense?
If you want to allow general access then open up guest access and restrict it to the open access pages - if you set automatic guest login then people will only have to login when they try to access a restricted course are.
If you only want to make it available to enrolled people in certain areas then use the metacourse option. When a student is enrolled on a restricted course they also receive access to the open access area. It is a form of enrolment but is transparent to students.
Depending on how you want it to work, create normal html pages and host them on your server. You can access these via resources or coded links which will affect who can access them and how. Site files are available to all, whereas course files are restricted. You should be able to access or recreate your Moodle theme quite easily for consistency.

Your Moodle home page is like that. You can add activities/resources to the home page, and they'll be generally accessible. If you want to do more "advanced" things then there's the "CMS" add-in, which allows you more complex control over the homepage... I think. (I haven't used it.)
