In shell:

chmod 755 yourdirectoryhere

or

chmod yourdirectoryhere 755

Its one of those two, usually differs..

what directory though?

To all the user directories you want web access too. You need not only read, but execute.

edit: okay make a script called webuser or something and chmod +x it

I made this little script so users with webpages could be added to one of the college's system, I think it will work for you too.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/useradd $1
chmod 701 /home/$1
chmod 751 /home/$1/public_html
passwd $1


So to recap, open a text editor, paste in the contents, save it to say /usr/sbin/webuser then run "chmod +x /usr/sbin/webuser"

Now as root type "webuser paulson"
It will ask you for the password and I think the permissions will be set right for you.

edit again: Just to clarify, this will add a new user with web page permissions set right, if you want to modify an existing uer for this you can use the same script without the useradd and passwd lines.
