Microsoft FrontPage, a simple HTML editor for the novice designer

There were many great features that were part of Microsoft FrontPage. Besides being WYSIWYG, it had a built in image editor; and common tools like mouse over, email, and hit counts was a simple point and click function. Also, as long as you had your password, your web content could be edited from anywhere.

New for the 2002 version was the ability to tell FrontPage how to format your HTML pages, whether to use optional tags, and how many indents come before each tag. The new version also had the ability to reformat a page that had been imported into your website according to the way you desired it.

FrontPage is no longer available, the final version Microsoft released was Office FrontPage 2003. To take its place, the company introduced Expression Web, releasing its first version in May, 2006. Expression Web supplies you with the powerful tools you need to create high-quality web sites just the way you want them.

According to Microsoft here are some of the reasons to get hooked on their new Expression Web.

• Professional Design UI - To build a modern site it requires a program that places the tools you need where you need them. This allows you to concentrate on the design process, not having to search complex menus.
• Standard Site Design - The new software builds sites today according to the new standards, including CSS, XML, XHTML, and XSLT.
• The CSS Layout - Sites today are built using CSS in order to separate content from design. Expression Web has made the technology easy with their design tools, which puts the user in total control.
• Page Rendering - The most accurate rendering engine available today is Expression Web. Designers need the freedom to create so accurate rendering of a page is essential.
• ASP.NET - With the latest version of Microsoft ASP.NET, bring your site to life. It offers a wide variety of controls, from calendars to navigation, database integration to login functionality.

You don't need to be a professional web designer to have a professional look to your web pages. A WYSIWYG HTML editor can be used by a professional designing websites for hotels and resorts, or the most novice user who's designing just for fun.
