- A useful tool
If you know absolutely nothing about creating a Web page, Front Page is actually too complicated for you. That is, if very basic things like "navigation bars" and "banners" are not part of your vocabulary. It's like taking a foreign language: Although Intermediate Hebrew is much simpler than Advanced Hebrew, it still assumes you know the Hebrew alphabet. So, if you haven't yet tackled basic Web principles, go buy Publisher 2000 first, and use its Wizard. That's the best tutorial.

But if you are ready to move to the next level and want a site that demonstrates more stability and consistency than a site created in Publisher can give you, then you should consider Front Page 2000. You do indeed need a manual, combined with calling Microsoft's tech support line during your initial free support period (ie, once you start working, finish your project, so you can use tech support for the duration).

A noticeable flaw in Microsoft's generally decent interface between its various software packages: You cannot import your Publisher Web site into Front Page. They do need to fix this glitch. Nor can you import Publisher "themes" into Front Page, and the themes in the two packages are not at all similar. But do be sure to ask about your discount on Front Page when you buy it (because you owned Publisher).

I would recommend doing your "intermediate level" Web site in Front Page using their 'canned' themes, then tinkering with it as you learn more about design. For example, you will want to customize their themes or abandon them completely, creating your own, in order to preserve your individuality. Fix those kind of design issues later. Concentrate first on learning the new material. Then you can start downloading new buttons etc.

Front Page does not handle JPEGs well as thumbnails, nor smaller versions of photographs, even if you do all the edit work you're supposed to. However, the large versions, once someone has clicked on a thumbnail, are quite good and do not lose clarity.

Additionally, the photographic clip art in Microsoft's online clip art gallery (that you can download free) works well, and seems to retain its sharpness.

I like using Front Page and find it is all that a small to mid-size company (or individual) needs. If your Web site needs to accommodate large databases or fast-loading pictures, you may need to upgrade to Dreamweaver or pay a professional Web designer. Till then, stick with Front Page and learn all you can using its tools, till you are ready to go on to the upper level courses.

NB: An advantage that Front Page has over Publisher, is that it comes with its "FTP" built in. Good, because you don't need to get one of your own. Bad, because it makes it more difficult to send your Web site to someone else on disk (many elements simply don't work till they are uploaded, so you cannot send it to Aunt Sally to look at on her computer, even if she has Front Page).

And you do need to remind the company hosting your site to enable Front Page extensions. You would think that this would be part of their systems check when you upload, but for some reason, most don't bother till you call them and remind them to do so.

- Pass on this one.
Had to buy this for a client/server program and it stinks. After taking a couple of HTML courses at a community college, I find it's easier to code from scratch than use this.

- A product with room to grow
If you are new to web publishing then Frontpage 2000 may be the way to go. It does not quite offer the same level of handholding that the other Office Suite products offer (like Word). For example, the help file is not as complete as you would expect if you were a long time Word user. But if you are willing to work at it, you can become proficient at publishing fairly complex web pages.

If you want to make your website interactive then be sure you get a website host that uses the Frontpage Extensions. A couple of drawbacks of this software are:

1. It crashes a lot under Win 95 (surprise) 2. The web pages do not, by default, save locally automatically. If you are working on 5 web pages at a time you have to remember to save each one every 15 minutes due to it crashing often. 3. The pages created in MS Frontpage 2000 often look different in Netscape than they do in Internet Explorer.

Some major pluses:

1. It lets you manage even very complex websites with ease. FP 2000 offers powerful management tools that let you see all your web pages in one place with all the directory structure intact. That is a huge bonus if you have to maintain several websites and update on the fly often. Your websites stay local and you update the entire online portion with the click of a button. 2. It has spellcheck. Surf the net a bit... nuff said =-) 3. It is comprehensive and will allow most novice to intermediate web designers to do what they need to do without learning a line of HTML.

- IT WORKS but get a host with frontpage extensions
well, if you have an idea about making web pages frontpage 2000 is a big improvement over other version, hit works is for the most part stable and it does produce a nice site and fast. if you don't have the time to make a complete site ms fp2000 does it well. i helps to know how to edit html also. now if you really want to see frontpage work, upload to a server with frontpage server extensions. the free hosts with server extensions do not work well and you want get any support, get a dedicated server that handles fp extensions
