We begin by trashing your Frontpage editor, for I've never seen a
professionally done website when the designer used that horrible editor.

I can direct you to templates, but working with templates requires you
to have a basic understanding of HTML coding. Can you code HTML
without the crutch of a WYSIWYG editor?

Those are called tables and can be sized to fit your needs if you know
how to do that. That is one of the problems of editors such as
Frontpage. You use the program yet you really never understand what it
is doing on your page.
A template is just an outline. It is not cast in stone. You can edit
it to suit your needs, but you need to have a basic understanding of
HTML.

Here is my input. Take some time to learn HTML. Learn to write HTML
raw code using a text editor. I promise you that you will never regret
this. Visit PageTutor and begin learning how to write HTML:

Professional webmasters code in raw HTML or at least have a solid
knowledge of how HTML works so that they can monitor their editors for
correctness.
