The homepage i have had up and seemingly working is:
http://oil4lessllc.com/
However, the validator has so many complaints, and being so
incompetent, i have no clue as to how to fix it all.
Would the use of Dreamweaver be of great help?

Your layout appears to be so simple that a competent HTML markup
specialist would probably do the site for less than the cost of
Dreamweaver. The lava looking image bangs into your PDF links in Safari.
Your markup is far too complicated for the site I saw.
I may be missing something.

Yes, the image is a bit close to the PDF links, and i can move it for
better spacing; that is a good idea -->thanks!
So you are saying that there is too much code for the effect seen?
That means there should be a more efficent way of creating that effect.
As far as DreamWeaver goes, i cannot afford even the free 30 day
trial, as i am on POTS and downloading anything larger than 2Megs gets
bitchy - even with a download manager.
Downloading it is simply not possible for me.
I have the various M$ products that supposedly are HTML tools, but
they are piggy as hell and the created code is very piggy and obscure,
so i un-installed the crap.

I think you would do much better to check out some good HTML tutorials
and work on hand-coding. Use an editor with syntax highlighting and
you'll find it a lot easier to see what's going on. (Personally, I like
Crimson Editor - http://www.crimsoneditor.com)

Front Page will render a disaster of HTML. Dreamweaver does better, but
it still isn't all that clean, from what I understand. Most of the tools
like that I've ever seen make a mess of the HTML.

I agree on FrontPage; even i, with my zero knowledge of HTML could
tell that it is absolute garbage.
