| I've been using Microsoft Frontpage for years. I began with Frontpage
97, then moved to 98, and finally upgraded to Frontpage 2000. With the
earlier versions it was always a bit of a struggle - something was missing.
Frontpage was a good editor, but it just was not complete.
Frontpage 2000 fixed all of that. This is probably the best all-around
HTML editor on the market. I would heartily recommend it to anyone
who has any web-editing to perform, although it is best suited to client-side
tasks (for server side tasks you should consider a product such as Microsoft
Visual InterDev).
You can do almost everything. It is WYSIWYG (well, mostly) and trivial
to get started. You just create a web, choose what you want to do, then
start editing.
And that's what I like the most about this product. You can get started
almost instantly. You don't need to learn HTML or any other language. In
fact, if you know how to use a word processor you are set.
Yet you can get as complex as you want (until you get to server side
stuff and there are other products for that) and you can edit the HTML
code directly if needed.
On the other hand, there are some annoyances to Frontpage that just
drive me batty. Sometimes the product decides that I really want my table
to be "this big" and will NOT let me change it. This requires some HTML
editing to fix. The themes, quite frankly, are horrible and inefficient.
Frontpage 2000 is also expensive.
But overall it's one of the best web editors around. A good choice.
