FrontPage Enhances Your Experience via WYSIWYG
FrontPage is an amazing technology developed by Microsoft. It was specifically designed as a tool for website creation and management, enabling users to author web pages and build feature-rich websites with professional appeal. The best part about FrontPage is that it doesn’t require the coding of HTML or complex applications. One of it’s main attractions is the FrontPage editor which is a GUI featuring WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). When you create and edit your web pages, the changes appear in a display window in the exact manner is it would on the actual page. Code used to create these dynamic pages are automatically generated and concealed from the user by default. However, more experienced users can edit HTML code via a separate display window with the simple click of a button.
The biggest advantage of the WYSIWYG editor is that it gives you the ability to visualize how you want the website to appear. Your background layout, fonts, colors, photos and edits can be viewed on the screen right as you add them, something that simply can’t be achieved by freehand coding. WYSIWYG offers an easy to use environment where complex web pages can be created within a matter of minutes. Not only is FrontPage time-effective, but far more forgiving in regard to programming errors. With traditional coding, the simplest typing error can have an adverse effect on your web page results. In the WYSIWYG environment, screwing up a design in almost impossible. All you’re required to do is point, click and save to create your content. Editing is also made easy. Instead of searching for any errors that may be present in HTML, FrontPage allows you to view exactly what went wrong and make adjustments accordingly.
While FrontPage is extremely easy to use, by no way is it lacking in sophistication. It provides the user with exceptional authoring capabilities that can be used to create interactive web pages that appeal to your visitors. You can easily create forms, hit counters, search boxes, link buttons and much more - all without performing complex server-side programming. Simply utilize the provided icons and drop-down menus to insert the desired application to your web page and FrontPage handles the rest. Your main concern with FrontPage is assuring that your web hosting provider has FrontPage extensions integrated into their server. If not, the applications you created with FrontPage will not function properly.
Hosting with FrontPage
If your site was built offline, you will need to find a provider that supports FrontPage to host it. This will enable your site to run all the features and applications unique to the FrontPage environment. Although it’s a Microsoft product, FrontPage is support by both Windows and Linux platforms. The key is actually the web server as it must be enabled to handle the technology, simply meaning that FrontPage must be installed.
With everything set in place, you will find that FrontPage is one of the quickest and most convenient ways to publish a website. It provides everything needed to create your site and a web presence that is sure to make you stand out from the competition.
