It may do if they take you up on your kind offer of paid assistance;)
Seriously though, I couldn't agree more with Onno.
I was a very late learner of HTML editing and I was introduced to Style
Sheets up front.
I too was reluctant, as the idea seemed overkill because my idea of the
pages I would write was that they would be very basic indeed.
No frills whatsoever, so I didn't see the point either.
After a small time my typing skills led me to see the value in Style
Sheets, they save mobs of work and allow accurate control.
It sounds like the problem might be the individual who's refusing to
'learn' how a simple style sheet works.
Mine couldn't more simple, or experimental and clunky I'd say ;)

While this is not a good style sheet, it was made by a novice (me) and
it works perfectly, for my meagre purposes anyway.
The fact that you can invent your own classes is brilliant too!
Also, the one tip I was given by my teacher at the time was to avoid
inline styles like the plague.
