Microsoft SharePoint DesignerWebsiteoffice.microsoft.com/frontpage/Microsoft FrontPage (also known as Microsoft Office FrontPage) is a discontinued WYSIWYG HTML editor and website administration tool from Microsoft for the Windows line of operating systems. It was branded as part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 to 2003. Microsoft FrontPage has since been replaced by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer, which were first released in December 2006 alongside Microsoft Office 2007, but these two products were also discontinued in favor of a web-based version of SharePoint Designer, as those three HTML editors were desktop applications.

One of the notable features of FrontPage is its built-in support for automated web templates. The main distinction between these templates and HTML templates generated by other products is that FrontPage templates include an automatic navigation system that creates animated buttons for pages that have been added by the user. It also creates a multi-level navigation system on the fly using the buttons and the structure of the web site.

FrontPage was initially created by the Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies Incorporated, evidence of which can be easily spotted in filenames and directories prefixed _vti_ in web sites created using FrontPage.[1] Vermeer was acquired by Microsoft in 1996 specifically so that Microsoft could add FrontPage to its product line-up.

FrontPage's initial outing under the Microsoft name came in 1996 with the release of Windows NT 4.0 Server and its constituent HTTPd server Internet Information Services 2.0. Bundled on CD with the NT 4.0 Server release, FrontPage 1.1 would run under NT 4.0 (Server or Workstation) or Windows 95, and was aimed at providing server administrators with a tool to deliver rich web and intranet content in a package as easy to use as Microsoft Word.

FrontPage used to require a set of server-side plugins originally known as IIS Extensions. The extension set was significantly enhanced for Microsoft inclusion of FrontPage into the Microsoft Office line-up with the 97 release and subsequently renamed FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). Both sets of extensions needed to be installed on the target web server for its content and publishing features to work. Microsoft offered both Windows and Unix-based versions of FPSE. However, newer versions of FrontPage also support the standard WebDAV protocol for remote web publishing and authoring.

In 2006, Microsoft announced that FrontPage would eventually be superseded by two products.[2] Microsoft SharePoint Designer will allow business professionals to design SharePoint-based applications. Microsoft Expression Web is targeted at the web design professional for the creation of feature-rich web sites. Microsoft discontinued Microsoft FrontPage in December 2006.

The final version of FrontPage is Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003. The company has introduced two new products to replace Frontpage called Microsoft Expression Web and Microsoft SharePoint Designer. Previous versions include:

Personally, it bugs me seeing the extra bloat (unnecessary HTML structure, non-semantic use of HTML tags, embedding CSS directly in HTML) that Frontpage generates. I also dislike use of proprietary, non-standard HTML and CSS. Frontpage's code bloat is bad enough to have inspired such programs as Frontpage Code Cleaner. Here's another Stack Overflow question that deals with removing Frontpage bloat: FrontPage tags - Pain in da HTML.

Frontpage leads to bad habits for some of the same reasons Sarah Vessels lists. I used to use it myself. I was one of those who liked to design in design mode and refine in HTML. The problem was that switching between "design" and "html" views would cause FrontPage to change my precious HTML. And at some point I got fed up with it destroying my markup (something the newer tools are better about not doing).

When I began hand coding every site I worked on from scratch I learned so much more about HTML and CSS in general and how to make lightweight, efficient pages. And at that point I also realized that the markup FrontPage would generate was really old-fashioned with lots of tables and inline CSS. As I learned to do it right I also learned how to make my sites cross-browser compatible on the first try. In the end this allows me to design and build a better site, faster.

If any GUI can do all that reliably, great. But I haven't seen it yet. And by the time you build one, the competition will be hand-coding capabilities that the GUI doesn't know about yet.

For one, FP isn't really supported anymore. The FP extensions honestly suck, they break quite often on the server side. But just as HTML editor, when the latest FP version is used and the settings are right (correct browser version and no server-side FP extensions), it's quite OK.

This is going off topic, but when FrontPage first came out, it was groundbreaking in how easy it was to create websites at a time when the web designer title was nowhere near fruition, but of course, FP has (de)volved into producing bloat.

The original company that created it was named Vermeer, after the Dutch painter and the story of how FP was built and how Vermeer got bought out by Microsoft is an interesting read, giving you insight into startups and Microsoft buyout tactics back then.

Because it's supposed to be catered to the crowd that isn't familiar at all with web development, mostly novices. To an experienced web developer it's fairly restrictive and limited, as is any WYSIWYG editor.

I personally haven't used Frontpage all that much, but I feel that you should really learn to use HTML and CSS and not rely on an application to do it for you. You really learn how things work and you have more control over what goes on.

Frontpage produces terrible code that won't be maintainable by other developers not using frontpage, meaning almost all web developers with common sense - especially since Frontpage got discontinued.

As mentioned - FrontPage became Expression Web. I hated FrontPage, but I think Expression Web is fantastic. I'm a programmer with deliverables, I don't have time to mess arround writing HTML code myself.

If he just wants to make quick, nice looking, clean corporate sites and have a high turn-over of generic sites, Expression Web is great. (The HTML isn't very 'pure' thought - but honestly what client would care?)

Found some cards to add to a game. I have scanned (JPG) and added them to a WORD document and now trying to print them out. There are 12 images on the front and 12 images on the back of a page. I've used tons of paper and ink in trying to align them - there's got to be an easier way that I don't know about. Help!!

It's for Talisman game adventure cards. One side is the task, the other side says ADVENTURE. I'm trying to figure out how to set margins and spacing for each side and then print two-sided. The task image is a smaller dimension than the Adventure image so that it fits inside the lines. Hoping there is a formula for margins, tabs, etc. that I just don't know about because most of my WORD experience is documents only.

Hi, i tried to create a frontpage with no visuals (expect a card which states present month)in my BI report for pdf export, all i need is a headline and a grey background and a picture, but somehow it is not easy to find how out to do so? - anybody got some helpful ideas?

So, there you are trawling a file-sharing network, looking perhaps for a favourite Simpsons episode, when you come across a promising-looking Windows Media Video (.wmv) file. Great. But when you double-click on it, you get a Windows box headed "License Acquisition", which says "Media Player Update". It goes on: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer needs to install an ActiveX control on your computer." Then there's a couple of buttons: "Install" and "Don't Install". Assuming you have Windows XP SP2 installed - because you're taking security seriously - "Don't Install" will be the default. You have to choose to install it.

So, with your antivirus humming away in the background, you're confident you're protected - and that even if you make a mistake, the software you've chosen so carefully will act as a backstop. So what would you do? Most people, I'm sure, will happily click on "Install".

That's what the people who developed this spyware expect. For if you do click it, a piece of software will be installed that, rather than updating Windows Media Player, will throw up pornographic pop-up ads on your machine.

This exploit (which is discussed in great depth by Ed Bott on his blog at www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000340.html) is a classic example of a new form of "social engineering" - which is a polite and upmarket term for "conning people". Social engineering is how a lot of malicious (and harmless) hacking gets done. Its essence is to get the targeted person to abandon caution in favour of a less complicated, or better-paid, existence. When that information box comes up in the situation above, you could follow the links to get a long, legal explanation of what will be installed on your computer. You could, but most people won't. It's too much hassle.
