| I'm tasked with working on my company's web site. I had web design in high school and we used front page. Any one know where i could find front page 2003 or recommend some other software. thanks for the help. |

times have changed. unless you are looking at the most simplistic of sites, i'd look at using an open source content management system, like joomla, drupal, or plone, and buying a commercial skin (visual design/theme) for it - which you can then customize even further. put your personal efforts into the information architecture, usability, and site management/administration instead. |

I found that while some sites are really cool looking, I dont have the imagination/taste to come up with these things on my own. It takes a certain kind of person (think interior design people) to design an aesthetic looking site. That being said, there is open source software out there- aptana is one of the more indepth ones. |
+1 I used to think that it was so neat making websites off of FrontPage wizards. Then, my time got more and more expensive and I hated wasting it. I use Joomla for all my sites now. A godaddy-hosted website (on linux of course) plus a free Joomla template equals a quick happy site. For even better results get a subscription to a site like rockettheme.com for some killer pre-built templates. Their RocketLauncher utility is freaking incredible. |
