The Internet offers unprecedented publishing possibilities, allowing anyone with a few hundred bucks and some spare time to bypass the middleman and reach readers, viewers, listeners, and buyers directly. If you want to tap into the power of Web publishing without staying up nights learning HTML, try Microsoft FrontPage 2000. With its intuitive interface (especially if you've already done time with other Microsoft applications), you can soon be creating hyper-linked pages to your heart's content. Formatting, inserting graphics or sounds, and keeping track of all your pages is push-button simple--experiment all you want, and retreat when necessary (some colour schemes can induce nausea). The package also allows easy use of ActiveX controls, plug-ins, and Java applets--as well as more traditional scripting features--to snazz up your site for the higher-bandwidth viewer. The integration between Office software, new with the 2000 edition, means you can easily publish information stored in an Access database or Excel spreadsheet without suffering through the nightmare of cutting, pasting, and reformatting. Whether you want to trade Beanie Babies or find new readers for your poetry, Microsoft FrontPage 2000will help you present yourself in the best possible light. --Rob Lightner

 The easiest and simplest web authoring tool ever May 10, 2001

My lack of technical knowledge has shrunk considerably since using this package, the first webs looked great but lacked some of the bells a whistles other software offers, however this package allows add ins and editing in a way that can create very attractive web sites. As with all MS software, the simple intuitive elements get you going and then with time so much more can be done. I disagree with many of the negative comments, FrontPage can work with most browsers including Netscape but you need to use the correct settings, given that only 10% of people use Netscape it's not a real issue. Bugs aside it's the best simple to use web package around. I'm looking forward to the next version with even more easy to use features. A cheap and effective package that delivers.
Easy to use and as fancy as you want it to be. April 16, 2001

I started off with FP 2000 because it seemed cheap for the features. It's certainly easy to learn and is brilliant for those of us who are more interested in how it drives than in exactly what is going on under the bonnet. I've used it produce two web sites that are generating money for me and my users seem to like them too! Yes it has themes and if every-one used them loads of sites would look the same. But if you're producing a professional looking site, you just don't use some-one else's theme. Sorry folks, but if you want originality and creativity, that has to come from you. I use certain aspects of themes that I have edited to my own requirements and find that if I supply the originality, then the programme handles the donkey work admirably, which is what it should be about . At the moment I see no reason to purchase another product for lots more money. It's not the programme that makes a great web-site, it's the author. This programme has more than enough to keep the great majority of people going for a long time and I think it's brilliant!

FP2000 was my follow up to Hot Dog Pro (which in retrospect was a great tool) I went for FP as it promised an intuitive interface and promised a great deal, which in the main it delivers. FP has some neat features such as easy to use DHTML and the ever important site maintenance aspects, for a 100 it is impressive. Good (not great) web sites can be created in a matter of minutes and the program is a joy to use, however I feel that once the learning curve is over, you will want to move onto something better and perhaps that is the best reason I can give for passing FP by and going straight for Dreamweaver or GoLive!.
Good for begginers and pros as well February 20, 2001

I strongly disagree with the general opinion that this is just an entry level product or intended only for building simple sites. Frontpage is so easy to use that many people think it is not sophisticated or unsuitable for professional work. Wrong!Let's clarify some misconceptions: 1) It doesn't work only with IE. If you want to create a site compatible with both browsers, you can set the properties of the site in the tools menu. 2) It doesn't mess with your code (previous versions did though) 3) Compared to the standard version of Dreamweaver (not with UltraDev) it has a lot of features, and its management capabilities are much better. 4) You don't require server extensions to make it work! Frontpage can be used with FTP as any other program. However, if your server has the extensions installed, you can use its most impressive features. 4) It's easy to use and ideal for beginners. It helps non-programers by autamating complicated tasks such as setting up mailforms or discussion forums (no programing skills rerquired). It has a wizard for integrating databases and making interactive sites, and if you don't know how to build a database, Frontpage does it for you. BUT...if you don't need these handy features because you are a professional, Frontpage will not limit your work. It is as powerful as any other tool and even more.

Using the software is fine. The interface as with most Microsoft products is familar and aesthetically pleasing. It has plenty of useful tools including DHTML effects etc. There is, however, a major problem, if you try to view your pages with a Netscape browser,as 80% of the world do, you will encounter major difficulties. Page content, including themes, and other animated (Java) effects don't work properly and I only discovered this after buying it. I think this problem is shared by other reviewers on this page. If you view your site with Internet Explorer, it works perfectly. In short, this is a Microsoft friendly product and I don't recommend it.
