Microsoft FrontPage 2003 [OLD VERSION]

But why is that a problem with FrontPage? It handles CSS well, and the editor is darned easy to use, far easier than Macromedia Studio MX. But if your ISP server doesn't employ Frontpage Extensions (and many of them don't) then uploading pages created in Frontpage can be difficult if not impossible. However, for the average user, I have to say that FrontPage is the web designer of choice. It's far easier to get running than Macromedia, which really is not intuitive. FrontPage is intuitive, and most people will have excellent success right out of the box. Just watch out for the extension support when you choose a web space provider.

I've been using FrontPage since version 3 and this is by far the best version. Even if you have Frontpage 2000 or 2002 (which I uprgraded to prior)you will see the dramatic differences in this version. It is a professional website development tool (finally).

Slap two monitors to your computer and vola...you can see code and your design mode at the same time (or if you have one monitor you can just 'split' between design and code modes.

And if anyone still believes that FrontPage dumps in 'useless code' like it did in versions a long time ago...think again. Not only has then been stopped since version 2000, but now you can 'clean' your code.

It's a great version for those of us who don't want to spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on other design programs that FrontPage can do equally as well.

So far, I have only run into one major problem (major for me). I used to be able to insert a drop-down boxes, I find that I am no longer able to do that. It's probably my problem since I haven't purchased a 1,000 page book describing where they have moved it to (the upgrade only comes with a 27 page book that isn't all that helpful to me.

As for being able to place, display, and organize my page...its loads better than the 2000 version.

Now, if only I could figure out how to get it to find my old clip art...;)
