Who said Car & Driver and Motor Trend (among other magazines as well) was all about performance cars? Sedans, midsize, SUV, trucks, economy, vans, luxury are all represented in their magazines, including sports cars. Why don't you actually go pick up a copy and read it?

Some people go overboard with frames and have like 5 or 6 frames on the one page. If I use frames, the max I have is 2. One on the left and one at the top. The left one for navigation and the top one so I can display a banner or something up there, without it disappearing when the user scrolls down.

Are you using Frontpage Express that comes with IE or Frontpage the MS Office Ap?
Well when I first delvaged into web design I used Frontpage and turned out some foul pages.
Frontpage is only good for using it's own templates. The program is so limited. When you use tables you are using extremely difficult to use blobs that resemble a table in word.
Frames in Frontpage is no better really but is the same as anything else except the good thing is! - You can remove the frames border!
Frames can only be used well when they are needed other wise they are pointless.
All a basic website needs is a menu and content nothing with cool effects that dazzel yourself silly until the novelty wears off.
So if you see an advantage to use frames do so. But I would stick to using a Frontpage Template to keep everything simple!

Dreamweaver is a huge arse of a step. I used Frontpage for nearly a year before I ventured into Dreamweaver cause I didn't need it's extra features...well they would've been handy but I wouldn't of known how to use them.
Use Dreamweaver if you know how and if you will find a great advantage.

I use NotePad. Simply put: it's legally cheap if you buy Windows. Or else you can use any other basic text editor, such as edit.exe for DOS even. I like those programs because they don't add any extra hidden coding saying "Made by Frontpage/DreamWeaver/ect." Plus, all I have to do to view the pages is open them up from the Hard Drive with netscape and IE(You need to know how the page looks with both options because not everyone uses one.) Basic tags you need:<Html><Head><Title><body><Table><Tr><TD><P><HR><IMG><iFRAME><FRAME> <FRAMESET> and the closing tags for those(All of them except <IMG> and possibly<iFRAME>, not sure about iframe.)
Oh, and iFrame only works with IE. If you really want to use it, I suggest you have a javascript that automatically makes a popup of the iframe for Netscape users so they know what was in the iframe.

If you search through the recent threads in this folder, I gave a pretty basic website structure. It's probably 14 tags or so, then you can add in anything you want. It's also easily customizeable. It's the basic header, 2 columns(navbar and content) and footer. No frames, all you have to do is add in your <P>'s, <IMG>'s, and <Javascript>'s. If you really crave a more professional look and save file size, you could use two cells on the top row by removing the colspan="2" and create another cell(<TD></TD>) and use the one on the left for a corner while the one on the right/middle is used for the main banner.
