With its ease of use, it would be easy to overlook the fact that
FrontPage 2002 is one of the best pieces of software currently available for Web site creation and editing. What's more, it's suitable for both the intermediate level computer user (someone who's comfortable and adept working in a Windows environment) as it is for the more advanced Web designer. It does this by allowing users to work in either a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor or a raw HTML editor.
Intermediate users will appreciate the lack of complex coding needed in the WYSIWYG editor, as anyone familiar with Microsoft Office applications will recognise the available tools and toolbars. It's easy to insert and edit text, format your Web page to give it the look you want, add graphics (either your own or from its Clipart files), create hyperlinks and anything else necessary for the creation of a high-quality and professional-looking Web site. Multiple page views make it simple to work on several pages at once, and it's fully compatible with other Microsoft Office applications, enabling users to cut and paste from Word or Excel files into a FrontPage document--the conversion into HTML happens automatically. Once you've created your Web site masterpiece, it enables users to upload files onto a server quickly and easily using a simple drag-and-drop system. FrontPage takes advanced Web site creation and makes it as simple--or as complex--as desired. --Ted Kord
