MS Frontpage By Clare Lawrence 15th August 2004
Thinking of designing your own website?, MS Frontpage is a good
starting point. It is widely available, well supported and
reasonably priced.
Why MS Frontpage?
If you’re familiar with the other members of the Microsoft
family such as Excel, Word or Powerpoint then you’ll find
Frontpage easy to pick up.
A concept that most beginners find hard to get used to is that
of client and server, in which the product only fully functions
once published to a web server.
Frontpage copes well here, its preview function showing how the
pages will look, once published.
Frontpage 2003 has improved its publishing utility and now
incorporates many templates and wizards. So building a feedback
form or question capture screen is very straightforward.
If you’re building a personal website or a corporate presence
site, then frontage is great. If your planning a professional
site or comprehensive e-commerce platform then a product such as
Mcromedia Dream weaver maybe more suitable.
