Microsoft FrontPage?

**Redshft** · Mar 15th, 2008, 10:46 PM

Who has experience with it? Any good tutorials? I'm just trying to get a vision for a front page out of my head and onto hard copy...besides what I have with pen and paper. I need to be able to share via email. Thanks!

I have FP2003. I am a noob at building web sites. Took a night course at the local CC which was moderately helpful. The most helpful thing I have is a book: FrontPage 2003-The Missing Manual. Very good. I think most web design experts would try to steer you away from FrontPage but I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to tell you why. Dreamweaver apparently is the shizzle, but more expensive. GMJ

Hey Redsft,

Are you trying to create a mock up or are you trying to build an actual site? If it's a mock up I would just create it in photoshop it would be much easier. Frontpage is not that great.

In my experience, as a sys admin, for a web hosting company. The developers I worked with thought FP created un-maintainable code. To proto-type a site, quick and dirty, it might be ok.

I was just trying to create a mock up Andrew. I actually was fairly successful with MS Word!!

Thanks for the replies. I may also be attending a class at my local CC, but I would like to start reading up on FP or PS page design to maybe get a bit more professional look for a developer to go by.
