Microsoft Frontpage 2000. Review on Microsoft Frontpage 2000

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.
