How do I create a visualforce page that doesn't constantly look like it's being edited?

I have created a visualforce page for my team to enter new opportunities. It is my first visualforce page. I can't get it, though, to "save"; it always looks like it is being edited. Here's what my code looks like:

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
  
  <h1><center>Hello {!$User.FirstName}</center></h1>
  <center>Please enter the following information</center>
  
  <br></br><br></br>
  
  <apex:form >
      <apex:pageBlock >
        <center><h1>Current Stage</h1></center>
            <i><center>Please leave boxes checked once a project has completed a stage<hr></hr></center></i>
          <br></br>
                  <div align="center" draggable="false" >
                    <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
                    <apex:commandButton value="Edit" action="{!edit}"/>
                  <hr></hr></div>   
            <apex:pageblocksection columns="1">
          
              <apex:pageblocksectionitem >

              </apex:pageblocksectionitem>

Hi, on the Setup->Customize->Opportunities->Buttons, Links, and Actions settings page, what is the setting for View?  is it a standard sales for page? 
Nicholas DallNicholas Dall
It is currently set to view my Visualforce page, which is working just fine. When I view an opportunity (we call it a project), the fields look like this (these snapshots are of different fields, but are on the same page – disregard that they are not the same fields) [cid:image001.jpg@01D1B739.9522F4D0] Instead of like this [cid:image002.jpg@01D1B739.9522F4D0]. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, if you want use a VF page for the view, I believe you will need to create a second page that uses apex:outputfields instead of apex:inputfields.  Alternatively, if it will work with your design you could set the View setting back to the standard SFDC page.  Hope this helps!
