I'll ditto the no frames.
phpWebSite's good also, that's what we used originally before getting Studio MX. There were some buggy items with phpWS though, can't quite remember what... The only bad issue I had with it, and phpNuke, was once I started geting the hang of site deisgn, I started feeling hemmed in. phpWS runs off of what had to have been hundreds of php files and trying to dig through them to find the one file that controlled a particular setting get annoying quick. I ended up going to bed completely POed many times after spending an entire evening unsucessfully trying to change some simple item.
As for tables, Dreamweaver makes them almost as easy to manipulate as an Excel spreadsheet. Especially if you have to span a lot of columns or rows.

Believe it or not, the majority of web users are still using 800x600 resolution! (2/3 to 3/4 of them) So the 750 pixels that he stated (item #2) is, unfortunately, advisable. I tried making ours where the text area floated so that it always filled up the screen, but it became a design nightmare as I never knew where graphics would end up. So I too desgned for a fixed 750 px width (50 px to account for a scrollbar and whatnot). And thanks again to
LunarOrbit for showing me a neat trick to make the background somewhat interesting. (Credit where credit is due.)
