DreamWeaver8 vs. FrontPage
by Karen Mizera
I compared the two HTML editors and decided that FrontPage is more for the beginner like me and DreamWeaver8 is for the professional web developer.

DreamWeaver8 |
FrontPage |
| $399.99 full version | $199.99 stand alone, it can also we purchased in a bundle |
| Has more options for a more professional look | Is as easy as using Microsoft Office |
| Useful for a entire school's web site | Simple enough to start a classroom website |
| Student's would have to be taught to use program | Student's could figure out the basic's of web design if they know office |
FrontPage was very user friendly. I liked the preset themes like the one I am using now. To me using FrontPage was less frustrating because I am use to using Microsoft Office. With the aid of a reference book on FrontPage I could skim to what I need to know when making this website.
I made the following links very easily with this editor.
Robb Beane Brian Bucciarelli Erin Collins Jessica Delaney Brad Frey
Laura Growler Margorie Hay Sarah Hendrix Jodi Herrmann Jeff Jakob
Erin Kilroy Christopher Liang Amy Neighbors Katie Shifflet Steven Svendsen
John Tubbs Renee Urban Lee Wilkinson Becca Berbaum David Giboo
I know that a lot of people do not like FrontPage, but for a first time program I think that is serves it propose.
Inserting pictures like this one was very simple.
