Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft's FrontPage 2003 combines a slick and easy-to-use page designer with tools and wizards for creating, managing and uploading websites. It is part of the Office family and the look and feel will be familiar to those who have worked with Microsoft Word. You can create a website with a blank page, or use pre-designed templates and themes for common page designs or entire websites. FrontPage 2003 also has wizards for interactive and dynamic features including live links to databases, discussion forums, search forms, hit counters and navigation bars. Some features require a Windows web server, while others depend on FrontPage web server extensions, so it is important to check what is available from your particular Internet service provider before depending on a FrontPage feature. Non-Microsoft server technologies such as PHP or Java Server Pages are not supported by FrontPage tools, so using these is a matter of hand-coding or else selecting an alternative editor such as Macromedia's Dreamweaver.
FrontPage 2003 is a substantial improvement on earlier versions. The editor is well behaved, preserving hand-coded script or HTML code and a new split-view makes it easy to work with both the visual design and the underlying text. Strong new features include table-based layout tools, the ability to create a page design by tracing an image, nested or overlapping layers, better use of Cascading Stylesheets and templates that let you lock some content while making other parts of the page editable by other team members. Coding is enhanced by a quick tag editor and Intellisense statement completion. Flash movies are fully supported and there are tools for the easy display of XML data. There is also special integration with SharePoint services running on Windows 2003 Server, making FrontPage 2003 the natural choice for creating SharePoint intranets. FrontPage 2003 is a feature-rich product which enables good results without requiring knowledge of HTML, while also providing strong support for those who prefer to work with the underlying code. --Tim Anderson

After inheriting the maintenance of an non-profit organisation's web site and having never designed/altered or otherwise a web site/page, I decided to buy FrontPage 2003 and a good guide. Absolutely the best move I made. It didn't take long to get to grips with FP, whether you're used to Microsoft products or not. It's a simple package to use with great Wizards for the novice and an extensive help section for both the novice and the more adventurous. It produces professionally designed sites and, as with most MS products, allows you to incorporate your own designs and advanced features. I'm looking forward to learning more and adding some advanced 'active' features to our new (and now much commented upon) web site. Highly recommended for beginners and the more advanced user.

I purchased Frontpage 2003 for my father as he wanted a simple web design programme, and this is exactly what we received. Much hyped and meant to be far superior than Frontpage 2002, we thought Frontpage 2003 would be at least a little superior to the cheap programmes you can pick up for £30 or so. How wrong were we!
Frontpage is fine if all you want to do is design and publish a very basic site. It is quite conservative and does not allow for import from most other programmes (apart from industry standards such as Flash).
It's templates are rather stale and rather boring and simple, all right for the late 1990's - you expect more nowadays. It's WYSIWYG approach is good for a beginner, but even a beginner will get frustrated after a while with it's lack of flexibility. WYSIWYG as long as it fits in with the way Frontpage likes things, otherwise you will need to be an experienced web designer (in which case you wouldn't be using this package).
However, for the Microsoft Office and Word user, this will provide a familiar environment within which to work. The new improved features are also much lauded but have been industry basics elsewhere for a long long time. The customer support from Microsoft is excellent, and they will help you work through problems, though you will be holding on for hours and hours to get through on the telephone. Also, be aware, not everyone supports Frontpage 2003 - even Yahoo Webhosting will only support Frontpage 2002 and earlier versions.
This was good for my Dad, who just wanted to put a few family pics up online, but for that purpose, it was rather expensive. I would suggest that if you are considering purchasing this, please first try it out - there is a trial version on the microsoft site, after which, if you are happy, you can come back to Amazon to buy it. But if you do this, please also consider trying out the trial versions of other software available, especially from Macromedia.

I have used FrontPage for many years and find it a very useful tool. It isn't Dreamweaver, thats why it is less than half the price. What it is though is an easy to learn tool for the production of basic web sites and an ideal tool for the management of existing sites by non-techie users. It doesnt do web graphics well, but if you combine it with other apps like Macromedia Fireworks or similar you can obtain some impressive results.
As for the legendary naff code, well it works (at least in IE6)! And in these days of fast broadband connections, this isnt really a problem. FrontPage pages never pass validation by W3C but, as the average web user has never heard of it, I don't lose much sleep over this.
All in all I recommend FrontPage

This item was described as new but arrived without packaging, the disk in an opened envelope. Works OK but I am not convinced it was new.

This software is quite basic for web page design. Any web designer worth their salt will tend to keep away from Frontpage. The code it writes is well known to be inefficient. Read more
