<table style="width:100%">

But this is not controlable with css, I would prefer to use the following;
<div id="divone">
<h1>Brocante de France</h1>
<p>Our aim is to offer you a fabulous range of products to help you create the home of your dreams,
from hand tools for the DIY work, to antique and hand crafted lighting.</p>
<p>Our range of products are both domestic and proffessional quality,</p>
</div>
<div id="divtwo">
<h1>Kitchen</h1>
<p>kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and cooking accessories</p<>
</div>
<div id="divthree">
<h1>Knives</h1>
<p>Knives for cooking, eating, gardening and outdoor activities,</p>
</div>
<div id="divfour">
<h1>Home decoration</h1>
<p>fabrics and hand made lampshades,</p>
<div id="divfive">
<h1>Hand tools</h1>
<p>hand tools for the DIY work</p>
<div id="divsix">
<h1>Brocante</h1>
<p>a selection of antique and vintage accessories to finish you home.</p>
</div>
with the following css style written to the css stylesheet
<style>
#divone {background-color:#cc00cc;color:#ffffff;text-align:center;padding:5px;}
#section1 {background-color:#cc00cc;height:300px;width:350px;float:left;padding:5px;}
#section2 {height:300px;width:350px;float:right;padding:5px;}
#section3 {height:300px;width:350px;float:left;padding:5px;}
#section1 {background-color:#cc00cc;height:300px;width:350px;float:right;padding:5px;}
#footer {background-color:black;color:white;clear:both;text-align:center;padding:5px;}
</style>
