MS FrontPage 2000

This program enables you to create and manage a web site. It is equally useful for people with no html or programming experience and for those people that do. It provides a WYSIWYG interface a bit like a DTP package and an html interface. Because it is part of the Microsoft Office suite it has many of the same features e.g. shared toolbars. It also includes a gallery of design themes and step by step wizards. Installing I had no problems installing it, the instructions were simple and clear. Learning to use it It come with a book that includes a detailed tutorial. The tutorial takes you through step by step creating a fictional web site. ...  Read the complete review

FrontPage is perhaps the most radical of the Web page designers. A cut-down version is included with many editions of Internet Explorer and this results in it being a program that users try out before other Web designers. However, it has many features which make it specific to the Microsoft Web server, Internet Information Server (IIS), and this isn't the most common server found on the Internet. Using FrontPage with anything other than IIS reduces its functionality considerably and hence increases the pressure for ISPs to offer IIS hosted Web sites - a marketing point that cannot have been missed by Microsoft. In previous versions of FrontPage, it was even ...  Read the complete review

Ah, Microsoft FrontPage. The very mention of this particular piece of software used to incite me into fierce fits of violence and blue language. If anyone ever used to suggest to me that I use FrontPage to build a website, I used to look at them as if I were about to tear out their heart and eat it...

You literally could sit down and tap your HTML out in notepad and come up with better looking pages than you could if you sat down with FrontPage. ...  Read the complete review

If you are looking to build a website for your company in the shortest time possible, and on a shoestring budget, this is the software for you, especially if you have no web building experience. I know a couple of people with small businesses who have found it very useful for creating their online presence simply because it is user friendly. At the click of a button, Frontpage 2000 will generate a website from a template, which you choose according to your company, etc. Once the site has been created, you simply change the information to suit your needs. There are different “themes” to choose from which determine the colour co-ordination and text ...  Read the complete review

Creating a web page can be an incredibly daunting idea to most people – even those who have a rough idea of what they’re doing. I have a lot of respect for people who can create a web page using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) which is basically the written version of a web page. Thanks to Microsoft’s Front Page 2000, things have become much more simple for the average person. I would possibly even go as far to say that someone with no experience in web-page creation would be able to knock out something fairly decent using this program. The good thing about Front Page 2000 is that it is not aimed at either beginners or ...  Read the complete review
