For the past two days I have been doing a total make over on a website I'm working on and I'm using MS Frontpage. One thing I have noticed with Frontpage is that it's extremely fiddly, especialy with page measurements, text and graphic arangement, also the tables are really hard to manage.

I did have a go at dreamweaver once, but it wasn't really for me and switching from WYSIWYG view to HTML and vis versa was a nightmare.

I'm thinking of just using PHP, as I gather that way is a lot more precise, but I can only do very basic PHP and I'm not sure if I should spend a lot of time learning advanced stuff.

I really doubt it, but does anyone have any tips on this sort of stuff, or could you just point me in the right direction for/ teach me some basic PHP skills that can help me with this?

Calls Samaritans, as have decided there is no point continuing anymore as an interweb designer...

fwiw, do as Nimco suggests, go to w3 schools and learn the basics first.

Well yes obviously, I may be 14 years old, but I'm not completly thick.
I'm sure monkey_man was just using that as an example.
