Probably because none of the css/scripts load - at least for me, maybe a limitation of the free hosting

The CSS files don't load because they're not CSS files. They've got HTML code and javascript in them. So.... there's your problem right there. Your stylesheets aren't stylesheets. They're HTML pages saved with a .css extension.

How it works in Notepad++ I have no idea.

thats a bootstrap theme you are using first page i looked at it all html no css you have to links to a bootstrap and a template file

links should be similar to the following

<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Thanks but im going to get a proper hosting site.

Going for a proper hosting is, of course, a good idea. But just so as you're aware... using those very same files will still cause the same issues that you're currently having with the site on the free hosting, as they're not valid css etc. files.
