If your site is table based, add align="center" attribute to the table tag. ie:

<table width="800" align="center">
...
</table>

If your site is <div> based, use CSS:

<div id="mainpage" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;">
...
</div>

Alternately, put the style attribute contains into an external CSS file to be included in the head section of your site:

#mainpage {margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}
