From: Defaul home page on 23 Dec 2009 12:40 I have been out of touch with the web site development tools but previoulsy used Frontpage 2003. It is an old product and does not seem to have any recent replacements from Microsoft. Is Frontpage still a good tool to use or has Microsoft replaced it with a different product?
From: David B. on 23 Dec 2009 13:17 Frontpage was discontinued, 2003 is the last version but nothing stops one from using it. It was replaced by Expression Web. -- -- "Defaul home page" <Defaulhomepage(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0678CD65-F35A-49DD-AE19-5E5BC85FF0FC(a)microsoft.com... >I have been out of touch with the web site development tools but previoulsy > used Frontpage 2003.

From: Tom Willett on 23 Dec 2009 14:07 It has been replaced by Expression Web. But, there is nothing that says you can't continue using FP 2003. Many, many people do. That's why the FrontPage newsgroups still exist. -- Tom [Pepper] Willett Microsoft MVP - FrontPage Since 1997 --------------------------- "Defaul home page" <Defaulhomepage(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0678CD65-F35A-49DD-AE19-5E5BC85FF0FC(a)microsoft.com... :I have been out of touch with the web site development tools but previoulsy : used Frontpage 2003.

From: Rick Sparks on 23 Dec 2009 18:20 FrontPage is a great great program and is the last WYSIWYG web editor that doesn't require the user to learn to write code (HTML and CSS, among others). ExpressionWeb, which replaces it, has much less user-friendly functionality (a downgrade in a sense).... but, proponents will maintain that it produces 'cleaner code'. The downside of FrontPage is that some/many of the user-friendly features require FrontPage Extensions (FPE) to be added by the Hosting company. The good news on that is it seems that many webhosting companies will continue to support FPE for some time in the future.... because so many people want them that still use Frontpage..... even if they are discontinued. Who knows, but I'd guess that FrontPage use will continue for quite some time as it's either that or learn code.... or hire someone to do your website.

All this is true, but I found that once I had had my hand held by the FP WYSYWYG editor for long enough, I wanted to see the code behind it. Now I don't use it in design mode at all. As many would say, HTML and CSS are not languages in the true sense anyway. -- Trevor Lawrence Canberra Web Site http://trevorl.mvps.org "Rick Sparks" <RickSparks(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6071C00D-2B43-400C-92C2-EE2FF41039A4(a)microsoft.com... > FrontPage is a great great program and is the last WYSIWYG web editor that > doesn't require the user to learn to write code (HTML and CSS, among > others). > > ExpressionWeb, which replaces it, has much less user-friendly > functionality > (a downgrade in a sense).... but, proponents will maintain that it > produces > 'cleaner code'. > > The downside of FrontPage is that some/many of the user-friendly features > require FrontPage Extensions (FPE) to be added by the Hosting company. > > The good news on that is it seems that many webhosting companies will > continue to support FPE for some time in the future.... because so many > people want them that still use Frontpage..... even if they are > discontinued. > > Who knows, but I'd guess that FrontPage use will continue for quite some > time as it's either that or learn code.... or hire someone to do your > website. > > > > "Defaul home page" wrote: > >> I have been out of touch with the web site development tools but >> previoulsy >> used Frontpage 2003.
