PROS* Preserves true HTML coding--old versions of FrontPage did not do this* Great project management: easy to create and use templates for managing entire sites* Great WYSIWIG editor: If you know how to use Word, you can make an entire website in FrontPage* Direct access to web host: Don't have to ftp back and forth; if your web host supports FrontPage, you can edit pages directly in your account and see the changes immediately* SHAREPOINT!!
The Sharepoint deserves more discussion. Sharepoint is a portal, most likely to be used as an Intranet. It has group calendars, file sharing, etc. You can create and manage your own Sharepoint portal from Frontpage. It is an amazing value for small- to medium-size companies.
SHAREPOINT ALONE IS WORTH THE PRICE OF FRONTPAGE! You cannot possibly find a portal for less money. But compare that to the cost of purchasing a comparable portal or leasing one, and this is hands-down a great value. And there is no, I repeat, NO opensource (free) groupware application that can touch Sharepoint yet. (When there is, I'll migrate.)
PURCHASING RECOMMENDATION
* People who know HTML will code without this product in a text editor* People who want a WYSIWIG development environment should seriously consider this product, though it costs more than some decent WYSIWIG alternatives--nobody else except Dreamweaver comes close to the features FrontPage has* If you want highly dynamic web pages (ASP, CFM, Flash, etc.), get Dreamweaver* If you are interested in a Sharepoint portal, this is a must
