Now it's easy to add sophisticated technology to your Web site without having to program. Whether you want to better understand your visitors through usage analysis reports, or get the lowdown on your site's performance with enhanced reports, Microsoft FrontPage 2002 has the tools to help your business. Microsoft FrontPage version 2002 provides the best value in its category. It has integrated features for Web site creation, Web site management, instant team Web sites with the SharePoint Team Services team Web solution, e-commerce, and graphics editing built right in. FrontPage is easy to get started with. Built-in templates and wizards allow you to create a Web site in only a matter of minutes, and then customize it to make it your own with your own graphics, photo gallery, backgrounds, image maps, themes, fonts, and formatting. FrontPage grows with you as you learn more and more about web site creation and management. FrontPage allows you to create Web pages in a familiar what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) environment, use Reveal Codes to see what HTML tags are produced while they are still in WYSIWYG mode, and even hand-code in the Notepad-like HTML View. You can even use its e-commerce functionality, forms and database support, and usage analysis features when you are ready for them. You can get started quickly with FrontPage because it looks and works like Microsoft Office. As part of the Microsoft Office family of products, FrontPage shares similar toolbars, menus, task pane, clipboard, and familiar features such as the customizable themes and background spell checking. FrontPage is broadly available and broadly used. Microsoft FrontPage is so popular that you can easily find a wide range of Web sites, books, training classes, Web professionals and users groups to help you learn and use FrontPage. You can also choose from hundreds of Web site hosting companies that support creating and editing Web sites directly agains... Amazon.com Review: Convergence seems to be the watchword for the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Web authoring system. Every new edition becomes a bit more like the other components of the Office suite, while also increasingly tying in to related Microsoft products and services. This is vaguely threatening to users who want greater freedom to edit HTML and other code directly or who want to call all the shots on their sites' designs, but for most users the expediency of FrontPage makes these sacrifices worthwhile or even unnoticeable. With new templates and smart tools ("bots") to help create a wide range of intranet and Internet pages, version 2002 is even simpler and faster to use than its predecessors. Users can draw with PowerPoint tools, drag and drop live content, and create photo galleries with a few mouse clicks. Publishing is incredibly easy. Beginners will love the wizards, and will find Web authoring much easier than expected. Why do so many people have problems with FrontPage? The main complaint is that the output, which tends to be flabby and difficult to parse, can't be edited by the user and is difficult to run on non-Microsoft servers. This is a problem for those who've gone beyond using wizards and templates to create their pages, but many other users are content with the results. The automatic direction to Microsoft-related services is also somewhat troubling--it would be nice, if unrealistic, for users to have easier access to the wide range of servers and e-commerce providers available. Still, for Webbies with fairly simple needs and no desire to spend months learning the ins and outs of HTML and XML, FrontPage 2002 is most likely the way to go. --Rob Lightner Amazon.com Product Description: Microsoft FrontPage 2002 is a Web site creation-and-management solution that gives you the tools you need to create and control professional-quality Web sites. FrontPage version 2002 has been designed so you can create exactly the site you want. You can use new PowerPoint-like drawing tools and automatic web content to make your Web site more exciting and dynamic. If you're familiar with HTML editing, you can also use FrontPage to save time with the new paste options smart tag, a new streamlined user interface, and new optional HTML and XML reformatting. You can also manage your Internet or intranet Web site more effectively by using the new usage-analysis tools, top 10 lists, and enhanced reporting capabilities. And you can use the new technology in the SharePoint Team Services team Web-site solution to create customized team Web sites to store, find, and communicate information. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Frontpage is a great help!After learning some HTML on my own, and struggling to set up my first Web page, I came to appreciate FrontPage 98. Later, I upgraded to FrontPage 2002. Microsoft had a winner in this affordable, easy-to-use Web page design tool. I use it exlusively to do all of my Web site design these days. It has a few quirks, and is not always as intuitive as I think that it should be, but, hey--it sure beats doing markup manually! I like it! Rating: - The best Web site creating/management tool ever yet! (after FrontPage 2003, at least)Microsoft Office FrontPage 2002 delivers on its title's promise -- it is a real solution for creating and managing Web sites. Although I began using FrontPage only from this version, and in 2007 -- when Expression Web and SharePoint Designer have already "hit the road" -- is still is a great program. First and formost, you don't have to perform the tedious problem of coding HTML (HyperText Markup Language) -- instead you can enter what you want the browser to display, like in Microsoft Word. Then, ... Read More Rating: - Better off with ground meat... literally...I started off with FrontPage 97... and gradually worked up to FrontPage 2002. I used to think FrontPage was a godsend, boy was I wrong. Things only work if using MS Internet Explorer for a browser, or just plain doesn't work if your ISP doesn't support it's extensions. I now use Macromedia Dreamweaver. However, between using FrontPage and being able to afford Dreamweaver, I used a nice product by some folks with a funny name. A product named "HotDog Pro" made by Sausage Software! Funny ... Read More Rating: - Front Page put me in the web businessI read some of these reviews and I must say that 2002 is so deep I think I feel into a hole. As far as the software being difficult, I spent considerable time in the library with some great books. I also bought some books, visual being the best and worked with the software. I took my first order for a web site while I was still learning and let me tell you forms just beat the living hell out of me. What I did was to look at some of the preformed pages of front page and looked at the html andlearned ... Read More Rating: - This software does not workQuite simply this software does not work, and I've been using other versions of FrontPage since it first came out--check out the Microsoft web site--they have loads of 'fixes' for this software. None of the web component functions work, and neither does shared borders. I can't imagine that they would continue to sell this. |
