Umm...go to http://www.lissaexplains.com/ to learn the jist about HTML and CSS layouts...the simplest would be using tables. If you PM me, I can walk you through how to make your own site. Or I could make it for you, but I want you to learn :D

I'm not sure why no one isn't just saying to use dreamweaver. I wouldn't bother with css, it just bogs everything down. It's fine for small sites but not for huge ones. Anyway google likes simple text.

CSS makes the4 laoding time about 5x quicker in lots of cases, especially if you use the class tag alot. CSS is definitly worth learning and can make your site layout much much more effective.

man, use photoshop for your design, take it into imageready and create the html, and fix it up in dreamweaver. there you have it as simple as you could ask for. CSS is great, but in the interim while you're poking around figuring out what works and what doesn't, just use plain html.

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ has several layouts you can use for free. Just copy and paste the code to your web page. I used another page to get the layout for my site, but I don't remember what it was.

I don't recommend using tables because if you have a large site, you won't see your site until all the table code has been rendered, but if you use CSS and make it a separate file, then the file is stored in the cache, and the page will load much faster.

I agree tables would be easier - I used it once, but using CSS is better in the long run if you want to maintain a large site.

if u are using frontpage just click view and scrool down, somewhere down there u wld see page size, chose one there.they advice u 2 use 800x600 setting, but it makes the page fat and really really ugly, so instead use 1024x768 that is better it makes sites look more sophisticated.also npay attentioon to your table setting it is very very important

CSS is A LOT easier than HTML... you can just make stuff up and it works... well most of the time for me. Plus you don't need to keep doign the colours in EVERYTHING you do....Tables are use probably the most in layouts.. but they aren't really like reliable. Too many iframes aren't good either and div layers sometimes get mucked up in certains browsers. So I you have to choose wisely right ?If you find photoshop too hard you could always go for paint shop pro... it has just as much (i think) but i reckon it is a lot easier to use.
