    I am sorry to answer this question with anouther question, but must ask if you have ever tried to change the webdesign of a website which contain inline style? You should try this and you would know the answer. With an external css the process is much faster, and the code is much cleaner.

    First, I'm assuming language barrier, as I almost kneejerked with "Englisc, mōdor wyrter! Gedōn ēow cweþan hit!?!"

    BUT...
    First you say you use dreamweaver and frontpage, don't know CSS, then say "plain design as seo friendly"?!? Sorry, but if you aren't separating your presentation from your content using CSS, you are probably the farthest thing from SEO there is.

    Do yourself a favor, throw those steaming pile of crap WYSIWYG's in the trash, grab a notepad replacement/equivalent, and learn HTML/CSS.

    CSS is used to apply styling to elements - used properly it means that when you create your HTML the tags used should say WHAT the content is with ZERO concern for how it will appear on the final page. If it's a heading, mark it up with a heading tag. If it's a paragraph, mark it up with a paragraph. If it's NOT a paragraph, don' go crazy slapping paragraph tags around everything (like single 'plate' images). Once you have your content marked up in the HTML, THEN you apply styling and layout using CSS.

    MODERN HTML should say what the content IS, CSS is there to say how it should APPEAR. This allows you to use less code since you can say "each iteration of this type of item looks this way" ONCE, meaning to change all of them you only need to change it ONCE. It lets you restyle the site without diving into the markup, and if the same styling is used across multiple pages CSS is cached, so it uses less bandwidth.

    This is different from how sites were written in the past with 'presentation' inlined in the markup with tags like CENTER and FONT, and attributes like WIDTH, HEIGHT, VALIGN and ALIGN. - Said tags/attributes that have no damned place on a modern website.

    CSS is for Styles. If you want to make nice looking stylish site then you need to learn Html and Css together.
