Amazon.co.uk Review
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

I think the previous reviewer, Tom Morris, should look beyond his prejudice against Microsoft and look at this product for what it is, not just because it came from MS. Sure, Dreamweaver is far superior - but then so is the price; it's like comparing a Rolls Royce against a Ford Mondeo - the Roller has got all the bells and whistles and is a luxury item, but the Mondeo is a good functional machine that does the job just as well. And how many people need, or would use, all the bells and whistles that come with Dreamweaver?
Looking at FrontPage realistically, it is a fantastic piece of software that makes building web sites dead easy and in a very user friendly way (unlike Dreamweaver!). I use it for writing ASP files, and it is more than adequate; for your everyday user out there who just wants a simple, powerful tool to build a good looking, functional web site, look no further than FrontPage. Unless, of course, you do have the several hundreds of pounds required for Dreamweaver, Flash et al......

I used FP and had a fairly complex site up and running in a week. I have no experience with the competition, so I can't compare FP with the others. What I do know is that if you want to create a website quickly, with no HTML experience, FP will let you do it. It works. And the tutorial, which you can download from MS is very helpful.

For the price Frontpage 2002 is a very useful product. It's not Dreamweaver, Flash 5 and Photoshop (as an earlier reviewer mentioned) but it also doesn't cost £1000 which the 3 aforementioned programs would (roughly) set you back.
The key features of Frontpage that make it really useful are the integration with onboard server software and the ease of publishing and managing site files. These are not trivial tasks when you're managing large web sites - I have one with over 38,000 files.
Like everything, it's horses for courses, but for the novice to intermediate user Frontpage is quite OK in my opinion.

While I am sure the a professional designer or teenaged-geek would find plenty to knock (frankly I'd probably find their attempts to emulate what I do for a living laughable too), for a 35 year old novice, this package is pretty much ideal. I bought Frontpage based on the recommendation of an IT-literate friend and some of the reviews on this site.
While I've had plenty of day-to-day use out of MS Office, I've never attempted to do anything like build a website. For various reasons, I now have little choice but to have a go. My ISP provided some software, which I either found quickly inadequate or (in the case of Netobjects Fusion) simply didn't work.
Frontpage provides all the functionality I need at this time. It is fairly straight forward to use and the results are attractive. I particularly like the ability to flip between HTML and WYSIWYG. The online help is also pretty damned good: I know; I've used it a lot. I may need to move onto something like Dreamweaver in due course, but in the meantime I would not hesitate to recommend Frontpage to anyone with little or no experience of building websites. Mind you I have always been fond of Microsoft products: mostly on the basis that they actually work!

I've found FrontPage to be very easy to use. I was up and generating web pages in a very short time. I designed my company's intranet using FrontPage. And I have two websites online now, a personal one, and one that I did for internal use in a voluntary organisation.
If you are a beginner to web page development, you'll find yourself being productive with FrontPage very quickly. And you websites can look nice easily with the help of this software.

Frontpage 2002, in my opinion offers the beginner and more advanced user, a useful cost effective web design tool. Whilst it does not have the bells and whistles of Dreamweaver - this is reflected in the price, it is still capable of producing some mighty fine websites. I have used both dreamweaver and frontpage, and I still come back to this piece of software time and time again..

I brought Microsoft Frontpage 2002 in order to design a website for my business. I found it an excellent package to use and with no previous expreience of web design the WYSIWYG editor is extremely helpful instead of the advanced HTML code that many other web design packages confront you with.
The true power of the program comes whe npurchasing web design templates from a desing company. These are relativley cheap and allow you to create a proffesional looking design easily. Frontpage allows you to do this and makes it easy to update your website.
There were one or two small problems with it: the FTP software is not brilliant but wold suffice for personal websites. However i feel with large websites it wold be more difficult to maintain them using frontpage. Also there were some problems with uploading onto the server and configuring the front page extensions as Frontpage refused to believe that i had them installed despite the fact that they were installed. Overall though this is an excellent package and very good value for money

Unlike Tom's childish comments, I would like to say that Front Page is a very useful tool for those wishing to develop anything from a basic up to a fairly complex website. The fact that it maintains your original code formatting and doesn't crash when encountering unrecognised statements (unlike Dreamweaver 4) makes managing sites that were developed by hand or another product very easy. Front Page 2002 is a very stable and intuitive product. Well worth buying!
