I was using front page. But my computer fried and is beyond fixing. I bought a new one but we couldn't afford xp pro. So I have no frontpage. Is there anything out there free that I can use? I don't know how to do the websites without it. I am running a business online and really need that program. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My members (and customers) are getting anxious since the website hasn't been able to be updated.

I'm looking at your other topic now, but to answer your question here you may use these free ones:

1st Page 2000
HTML Gate

thank you. I have one more question. I saved my web files from front page. will they still work with these? If not no biggie i will redo the site.

[greyknight17]

I haven't used Frontpage for a long time now, but I assume they are saved as .htm or .html extensions right? That's no problem. They can be used by any HTML editors, so no need to redo the site.

thank you. you just saved my butt lol

notepad is always the way to go

[greyknight17]

Yeah, I like Notepad also since it doesn't use much resource by itself. Actually a good learning method for HTML also. But with more complicated code, it's probably best to use a HTML Editor.

And the user mizzkira mentioned not knowing how to create a web page without a HTML editor.

I don't know how to use those either!! LOL I looked at both and am so confused. Frontpage doens't have all the html there while you are building. I never did it that way. So i'm so confused. Got any suggestions?

[greyknight17]

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier , but there is a free version of FrontPage called FrontPage Express. It's a lite version, but hopefully it will be more familiar to you.

I tried looking for it on the Microsoft site, but just did a search and found the download here. Install that and see if you like this HTML editor.

[mizzkira]

thank you i'll try that one. I am a pain in the butt i know! lol

If you can afford it, I would use Dreamweaver. I think its just great and i hope that Adobe doesnt mess it up when they acquire Macromedia

i tried that it's not as good as my one on xp pro but it'll do the trick thanks!
