Vue 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 For a "noob", I think FrontPage would do OK. But for a perfectionist beyound that, one would have to use Dreamweaver. When I first started using it, it was pretty complicating, but I'm getting the hang of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tuba3d 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 There is no way to compare Frontpage with Dreamweaver...The only reason to use FP is if you cannot pay for DW, but I'm sure that you can find good free programs better than FP.DW generated code is awesome, not considering the integration with PS and FW.[]stuba3d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtmcpherson 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 Dreamweaver is alot better than front page because frontpage sucks. i used to use it but you cannot insert div layers easily and additionally and most importantly it writes bad code which makes pages load slower and also /FAIL wc3 yep /FAIL... here i'll write a code of what you may find frontpage does.Dreamweaver: not actually done in dreamweaver i just wrote this now....lol<html><title>my webpage</title><head></head><body><a href=google.com; <img src=cat.jpg </img> <img src=dog.jpg </img></a></body></html>And frontpage<html><title>my webpage</title><head></head><body><a href=google.com; <img src=C:/users/justin/desktop/untitled_folder1/cat.jpg </img> </a><a href=google.com; <img src=C:/users/justin/desktop/untitled_folder1/dog.jpg </img> </a></body></html>as you see in frontpage you would have to re code the website after uploading the images even if they're in the same folder but in dreamweaver if they're in the same folder it'll just set it as images/dog.jpg or dog.jpg so when you upload it your site is'nt filled with red x's or you don't need to follow after it cleaning up the code.

wutske 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 One thing's for sure, I'll never use Frontpage for as long as I live. It's the most crappy website designing software and it (as usual) doesn't even bother about using correct HTML code. The website of my previous school is made in frontpage and believe me ... it only works in IE (but then again, the guy who makes the website is an idiot, referring to 'my documents' in hyperlinks, using the target="_blank" argument for most links ...).This doesn't mean I like Dreamweaver, it's good software, but I prefer writing the HTML code myself (in Notepad++), gives me more controll and in case of an error I at least know what's is wrong .

Unregistered 0111405241546 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 I've used both frontpage, and dreamweaver, and from my point of view, I like dreamwaver way better. I'm not a big fan of wysiwyg editors, most of the time, I make a layout it photoshop, slice it it imageready, and fix up some things in notepad then just test it out in dreamweaver and add a few things. Also I find that frontpage runs a bit slower on my computer than dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is way easier to use too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XyberForce 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2007 I've noticed that a lot of people are going with dreamweaver, alas I have nothing else to add on, everyone has already said it. I think it was because Frontpage was made before Dreamweaver, and Macromedia made DW especially for WYSIWYG, but also made it especially for coders at the same time. Also DW is processor friendly, Frontpage was made in a haste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skedad 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 I started out using Trelix Web when I first got my PC with XP. It was pretty basic and helped learning on my own. I then moved on to Frontpage, and it was still rather user friendly. I took from it what I needed, but then when adding Firefox to my PC and beginning to use Dreamweaver... I realized that Frontpage wasn't too compatible with the newly formed Firefox. Then when I went back to college, there was a Frontpage HTML class that I took, and ended up dropping. I mean the instructor and my own opinions and way of doing things clashed! I mean I would finish up a project, and he would have me redo it because it was not how it was supposed to be 100%... I'm like, ok so you labeled everything... BIG DEAL! And he did the family tree tabling with the children... And I'm like, no thanks, I'm good... besides it was a side class, and I had Dreamweaver in my major classes... GOODBYE FRONTPAGE!I still keep FP around because it is installed in Office XP, and I always like to use it just in case... Meaning I just keep it around to have it!I have learned to be a perfectionist (which isn't always a good thing), and I like being more detailed oriented with my work, and I just find that Dreamweaver is well geared for the professional web designer...But use what works best for you all! I think it is about the product, and if you aren't as comfortable with one thing as compared to the next, your product may suffer.... And I've seen it happen too many times!Ok, so it was way too serious my post... So I will summarize:I would take Dreamweaver anytime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 If you want to build website without pain use frontpage, if you want headache try another. by the time you learn how to use dreamweaver I have already gain a fortune with my frontpage website why use notepad, this is like walking 1000 miles when you have a nice car and tons of gas use frontpage, there are still lot of things to learn; SEO,copywriting, photoshop, animation, CSS, themes, competition etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
