My heart always sinks when I see a neologism like "Telematics" or a
fabricated acronym like "ICT". No-one competent in these fields calls
them that, the only people who do use these terms are ignorant
academics. In particular, the sort of ignorant academic who is
cheerfully teaching appalling technical standards in the subject. 8-(
The HTML on the page is horrible. Not your fault, let me hasten to add,
it's a combination of what you were taught and what the broken tools
produce. It could be worse - you might have signed up for the Open
University's web-design course, possibly the worst and most thoroughly
obsolete course available on the topic.
Many people around here in this newsgroup write better code than this.
Interestingly, "better" means both "technically superior" yet also "far
less work to produce". Now there's an outcome you don't get every day.
I'd suggest reading a copy of "Head First HTML & CSS". Learn how to
use some CSS, on top of some appropriate HTML, and you'll get better
results with less effort. You'll also realise just how simpel web
design can be, and why you don't need expensive rubbish tools like
Frontplague or Dreamweevil.

You're using cheap framed hosting. If you view the _frame's_ source,
then you'll see the real page.
You should stop hosting with this sort of cheapskate operation - it's a
bad idea for many reasons.
