FrontPage Is Dead

Bye-bye, FrontPage in New Office, Says Microsoft: Could it be? I hope so. Long live Contribute.

Microsoft will close the book on its FrontPage Web-design program with the release of Office 2007, formerly known as Office 12, late this year.

It was better than any previous version, but I wouldn't say it was good.

More and more everyday, I believe in the Dreamweaver / Contribute model. A "developer" and a "content contributor" are very, very different people, and they can't be expected to use the same tool.

I know it sticks in unnecessary code at times, but frankly I love frontpage. Easy as pie to use and create decent webpages with. From a no-professional design or programming aspect, FP2003 is great. Besides, when has a pro ever used FP for design, programming, or content creation.

FP serves a great purpose for ease of use in an Office type environment.
