Advise needed!

[dragonbum]

Hi I need some advise on designing my website can someone please help.

1. I am using frontpage to design and I like the shared borders function. Is there any other ways to create something like that without using frontpage?

2. I am using tables and cells for all my layout. Do you think using css is a better way?

3. Any good web building programs to introduce?

My website is www.epc-sg.com

Thank you very much.

Tables for layout is stupid (http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/) and should be completely avoided as there are a lot of problems that come along with it such as less accessibility and much harder to maintain code, among others. Check here (http://www.glish.com/css/) for tutorials on how to create CSS-based layouts.
