One program I suggest you install is Adobe Digital Editions 2.0. I know it's an old version, but if your eBooks looks good there, it will most likely look good in a lot of other programs or Readers.

Some quick tips.
  1. Do not set an overall Left/Right margin. Leave it at 0.
  2. Do not set a line height.
  3. Do not set a font size for the main body text.
  4. Do not have so much wasted space for chapter headers.
  5. Do not have paragraph spaces except where needed such as section breaks and offset text.
  6. When having offset text, do not make it a smaller font size then the main body text.
  7. Do not use em Ibedded fonts unless needed and not for the main text.
  8. Do not set the main text to any specific font or font type.
  9. Do use indents and set them between 1.2em and 1.5em (I prefer 1.2em).
  10. At the beginning of the chapter and section breaks, the first line of the first paragraph should not be indented.

Is there a web page to use EPUB on diffeferent platforms? (I don't know how to start!)

But first I do write my story with a word processor-using styles-and save the files e.g. in Dropbox?
