Summary: Frontpage is the best there is!
Review: I first started using FrontPage with the 98 version and then upgraded to 2000 not to long after that. So far all the versions of FrontPage I have used have been great. Macromedia's Dreamweaver is good for people who are more experienced but is also a lot more expensive. I like Dreamweaver but FrontPage is a much better buy than any version of Dreamweaver or any other web page designing programs I have used. If you are a beginner-intermediate and don't want to spend too much but still want a good quality program this is for you.

Summary: Front Page put me in the web business
Review: I read some of these reviews and I must say that 2002 is so deep I think I feel into a hole. As far as the software being difficult, I spent considerable time in the library with some great books. I also bought some books, visual being the best and worked with the software. I took my first order for a web site while I was still learning and let me tell you forms just beat the living hell out of me. What I did was to look at some of the preformed pages of front page and looked at the html andlearned how to use tables with forms and learned even more.
I use front page every day with my ebay items and it is a very professional presentation.
What a wonderful powerful program. I literally have no problem with this program. I don't use the microsoft templates anymore as I make my own using microsoft photodraw v2.
Someday I guess, as I get better I will take some courses in dreamweaver, which I understand is difficult. But Microsoft Front Page 2002 was a piece of software that I was able to challanage myself. Truthfully it is maybe 100 hours of learning and practice, but it is well worth it.
Good job Microsoft, hey, did I say that? In the end if you buy this and think it will be an easy learn, forget it. It is web design. Difficulty is moderate, but you must focus and practice to learn this software.
Take command and get and learn front page, find a good host and boom you are in with a professional website for your business.

Summary: Frontpage: Beginners Luck
Review: As a first time web creator, FRONTPAGE 2002 helped me get my website up and running very quickly. Having used other Microsoft products at home and at the office (i.e. Word, Excel), most of the buttons and commands were very familiar to me, and will probably be for anyone who buys it.FRONTPAGE won't teach you concepts of web design or help you design a page that will translate into all the different screen resolutions and browsers out there - learning that, for me, came later. I had to simply get my web page UP. I was a BEGINNER at web design, and shelling out $400 for DREAMWEAVER didn't seem practical (or affordable). I must admit that having learned a lot about web pages, I'm thinking about DREAMWEAVER now! FRONTPAGE allowed me to realize my ideas quickly and easily. The WYSIWYG interface ("What You See Is What You Get") is invaluable to people like me who hardly knew any HTML tags, and didn't understand the difference between Netscape or Internet Explorer. I pubish my web using yahoo as a host, and the interface between the server and FRONTPAGE is very easy. I click "publish" and the files load. Very simple. I really don't have a lot of complaints about FRONTPAGE. Now that I've become more functional as a webmaster, I am starting to understand HTML code and scripts - sometimes I don't even use the WYSIWYG screen, I click on the HTML screen and work "behind the scenes". I reccommend FRONTPAGE for any beginners out there. It's an intuitive, easy to use program that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get into. Good luck, future webmasters!

Summary: Not much of an "Upgrade."
Review: Frontpage is OK in general, a bit hard to get used to. This version seems to have a few more web-bots, but I mostly felt obligated to buy it because my ISP doesn't support the Frontpage 2000 Server Extensions. FP still creates pages bloated with useless code and fails to really automate development of some of the hottest technologies in use today, e.g. XML.
