    If you do any type of work online and don't have a clue about HTML then FrontPage is an excellent product for you. This is the perfect product for people who know something about computers but don't have the time to learn even more. It is user friendly and allows you to work effortlessly and learn new things on your computer. It does have the What You See Is What You Get (WYSISYG) which is great for someone trying to learn something about creating web pages without having to invest a lot of money or a lot of time.

    You'll be doing things you never thought you could before.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Ugly and difficult to use

    Perhaps later versions are better (but I doubt it). The software is not intuitive, the resulting Web pages are unattractive, and the manual is worthless.

    Either spend more money on better software, or else accept the other alternative which is using free site building software (more available these days anyway).

    2.0 out of 5 stars Right for some; disaster for me
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2003
    Despite mixed reviews, I bought FP2002 mainly because HoTMeTaL had just become unavailable. I'm a heavy and long-term user of Office products, and am entirely comfortable with them. Purpose of this purchase was to draft look/feel and content of a new web site, which I would hand over to a professional designer for tweaking.
    Took a very reasonable couple of weeks' effort making what I wanted. Two major issues were unexpected non-ease of importing formatted material from Office, and weird instability in text/graphics positioning: stuff jumps all over the place w/o warning. (I'm running WinXP Home, in case it matters.)
    Then passed the saved files to a pro running DreamWeaver on Mac. He is completely unable to open many, and others all seem to have a bunch of Java in the HTML code. (Yes, I did turn off all those unneeded options first.) It doesn't seem to be possible to save as simple HTML files with common code.
    It's going to cost me a great deal of time and money to repeat the whole exercise from scratch. Wish MS hadn't dropped their 30-day free trial, but I can see why.
    Right for some, no doubt. But if you want compatible code, portable files, or any real idea of what's going on in there (a familiar story with MS?), run away fast.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Program is obsolete
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2014

    This is version 2002 and version 2003 was the last version that Microsoft produced. It then switched to Expressions which requires much more skill to use than FrontPage. Microsoft ceased servicing this product several years ago. The only reason to use this product is if you have an existing web page that was created in FrontPage and you need to make some changes. To do so you will need FrontPage to download the existing web page, make those changes and then upload the modified page to your web host. It is a shame that Microsoft ceased production and service of this product as it is very easy and fun to use.

    My old copy of the software had died and I could not find the original disk. I use Frontpage to publish several non profit web sites and did not have the time to reconstruct. This copy was a life saver.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Professionals Agree: Frontpage Sucks
    Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2003
    If you mention Microsoft FrontPage to any serious web developer, you will immediately hear them go off about how awful the program is. I've been making web sites for 7 years and I havent yet met a developer who doesnt hate Frontpage. And this is why:
    Microsoft wants to own as much of the computing world as possible. To this end, they're repackaging altered versions of standard programming languages that only work with other Microsoft products.
    In short, if you build your site with FrontPage, the site will always be a FrontPage web site. It will be unreadable to any developer because it generates the most atrocious code you've ever seen. What could be simply done with one line of text is converted to 10 lines of convoluted code that only Microsoft products can read. And what if you want to integrate non-Microsoft elements like third-party ecommerce, dynamic data-driven pages, and so on? Forget it. Throw out your web site and start over.
    Contrast this to Dreamweaver, which writes clean code that integrates easily with any ecommerce or web development languages, and it's a night or day difference. You can edit HTML directly, or insert ColdFusion, PHP, Javascript, and so on.
    And beyond that, FrontPage sites look terrible. You can spot them almost instantly.
    Buy Dreamweaver, and you wont regret it.
