Summary: Super Web-authoring tool
Review: Years ago we started out with studying complicated Html and writing all this strange code, going through all the tedious, confusing process. But we didn't want to be geeks, we just wanted to create excellent professional-looking Websites which could be created without too much of a hassle, and within the shortest period of time. And with FrontPage 2000 we were able to accomplish this task, as it's certainly the easiest Web-authoring tool out there and the results can look just as professional as most other complicated software tools. But with FP2000 you can accomplish the job in a very short period of time. Once you get used to FB2000 it's basically just click and paste and it's a lot of fun to create new Websites. If you use MS PhotoDraw and some other MS applications, your Website will fly like a rocket with unique features that make your Website sizzle. We have only good things to say about FP2000. To really utilize all the features FrontPage 2000 has to offer, you'll need to get a few easy-to-read books like FP2000 Fast & Easy by Coletta Witherspoon which is very helpful and some other books to teach you all the tricks and to give you a headstart with your Website project. But using FrontPage 2000 is a walk in the park compared to most other professional Web-creation software. We highly recommend it.

Summary: An excellent HTML editor for seasoned users!
Review: An excellent HTML editor for seasoned users & mostly new webmasters! This program, though it does seem to have a few minor glitches, is rather good. Also check out MS-Publisher 2000, with both MS-Publisher 2000 and FP 2000, they work side by side! Helps to create DHTML more flawlessly too!

Summary: Can't see it any other way...
Review: After having worked through the agonies of hand-coding HTML, Front Pange (and the back-end Access interface) has made my life tremendously easier. The approach is structured, and reduces the complexities of web publishing to a few button clicks.I have designed 4 sites with Front Page, and would not change from this program. An excellent tool an value for the money. Anti-trust or not, this program is one that I will keep in my personal tool-belt for a long time.

Summary: An excellent HTML editor for seasoned users!
Review: This HTML editor is very good, except that it seems to throw in defaults instead of letting one choose their own "FORM ACTION" control. I personally created a church website with Microsoft's Publisher 2000, then tweaked it up with FrontPage 2000, since FP has more goodies to offer than Publisher! So folks . . . I recommend both: Microsoft's Publisher to first create your design and layout of your website, save in HTML format then use Microsoft's FrontPage to add stuff that Publisher leaves out!

Summary: Front Page 2000- Built with all browsers in mind.
Review: As a new user of Front Page 2000 I have been intrested to read all your comments on the product. However It has come to my attention that some of the comments are totaly unfounded. In all the bad reviews of the product we here mention of the inability of Front Page to create Webs that are cross browses compatible, this is a totaly unfounded statement. Microsoft in its wisdom has enabled the user to select the browser the webs designed will be used on and in essence enabled the user to specificly design for one browser. This gives the user the flexibility to design one general, all browser web or alternativly design webs that maximize each browsers features and link the two on a common home page. In closeing I have found that Front Page is a strong and user friendly development tool.

Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: This is the beastiest HTML editor ever! It has saved me so muchtime writing endless tags, page breaks etc. A lot of people havecomplained that FrontPage screws up your code, well, no, it just puts it in a neat organized form that actually makes your pages load FASTER! That is how your code SHOULD look. Dynamic HTML? Used to take me hours to code a page with DHTML effects and then debug it. Now only it takes me a couple clicks. Also, it has good power, but is comprehensive unlike other HTML editors like Dreamweaver, and the help files ACTUALLY HELP. Also, instead of linking hundreds of page together FrontPage lets you create "webs" or groups of pages to help you stay organized. There are a few technical flaws but if you know anything about HTML you can probably over come them. This product is overall a good product for those who have at least some experience with HTML to advanced level webmasters. NOT for total newbies! If your JUST starting designing webpages then many of the features will confuse you...

Summary: Best for middle to high website developer.
Review: Front Page is very easy to use. You don't need to know HTML code to design a web page. If you do know how to use HTML then it is very easy with the editing function. I like Front Page because it integrates with other Microsoft office products such as Word & Excel. I did use Claris to design my pages two years ago and found it a little difficult to change over. It did copy my code properly when I converted my data. I have a fairly large website with hundreds of pages and Front Page manages them well. One of the best features is if you need to make a change to one page you can make changes to all pages that have that data in it with just a few steps. You don't need to go into each page and try and find the data. You can even edit HTML code this way. One thing it does not do is when adding a picture it does not add the url to the code (ex. your picture is called picture.jpg it will only put that in the HTML text and not the url link. You have to manually change it so when you upload the page it will show the picture). It does have a function where you can FTP upload your data, but I use another FTP program to upload.. I recommended this product for the middle to large website developer.

Summary: Great program for the beginner or advanced user
Review: This program is helpful for all sorts of individuals, whether beginning in HTML or advanced and need a quick fix to simple solutions. It is not truely ment for the web developer to create explosive sites for aethetic appeal, however there are several plug ins that are readily availble that bring easy and simplicity to the programming of applets, bots, forms etc. The ease at which one can navigate around the functionsa nd find out troubleshooting issues is very helpful. The fact that you can integrate Access, Word etc with Office Extensions and create truelly functional websites is amazing. That is the real gem here. The integration with other MS Office products to bring true online collaboration. If you want "flash" and sound and 3D graphics to jump out at your viewers, this may not be the best program, but is helpful to assist in creation, tutorial and maintenance of most any site.

Summary: Great for beginners...
Review: If you aren't too familiar with website design (HTML, etc.) then this is the program for you. It's low cost and user friendliness make it great for beginners. What you don't get in options gets made up for. This tool will be great if it's the only thing you plan on ever using to create your website. Even diehard HTML writers will find it difficult to interpret and make additions/deletions/changes once the page is published, so you're practically stuck with what you have there. But, if you're looking for something simple that will look nice and isn't too expensive, FrontPage is a great way to do it.

Summary: The ease of Frontpage
Review: I do like FrontPage. I started web design with FrontPage 98. I then went to JavaScript and other web design programs. Upon reading other reviews, FrontPages is pretty good for the average person who needs a quick web site. It has quick wizards and templates. Again I agree with other high-level web designers, it is not practical for cross browser compatibility. Dreamweaver works better. I do use if for the bulk of my coding. Actually it converts stuff into code. That does save me time. Then I go back and edit the HTML and Jscript to suit my customer's needs. The program has its bugs, but for the price you can use it for intranet solutions as long as your network is confined to the latest IE version that FrontPage supports. It is also a good stepping stone into web development; some you won't have to invest too much time and money to see if you want to do this as a hobby or a career.. According to one review a customer had problem with the FTP function. This is not well explained in the textbook. You have to get some answers on chat pages and ask questions. You might even want to take a class. I do hate that Image composer or Photodraw doesn't have a text. It is a smart little program and I would use it more if I didn't have to spend so much time in the help menus. Again, for the money it is a good starting product. To be a good web designer, you have to have JavaScript and a good understanding of HTML. You may even consider ASP, Cold Fusion, and CGI using Perl to develop more programming skills. Nelson May
