You, me and Jan Tschichold. 
Julie, the biggest problems with your designs come from having no
underlying grid structure to help you place and align things
consistently. You should set up a grid (not arbitrarily) on your
master page so it appears on every page in your site, then use that
grid to help you achieve two important things:
(a) Placing things consistently
(b) Arranging things so they relate to each other in visually logical ways
but the rest is all left aligned. (and I double checked that before
I wrote this)
The ‘About Us’ page text is now left-aligned; it wasn’t just now though.
The address on that page is still centered. Also, the graphic-text
titles in the Forms and various Programs pages are centered.

It’s not trivial though; it means redoing the entire site using a
process which is not intuitive for Freeway users.
I wouldn’t recommend this for you, Julie. It introduces a level of
complexity that would be hugely counter-productive at this point in
time.
The other way you could do it is by using the old Freeway method
with the CSS button off
Yes, try this way.
Click the big blue button in the document’s tool bar so that it goes
gray - this means any new things you make from now on will not be
positioned using CSS. Then select each existing item in turn and
UNcheck the Layer checkbox in the Inspector palette. Do this
individually for each item.
You don’t need to do anything else - don’t try making an actual table
structure yourself, that’s not what Paul meant.
