Where are you hosted? Does your host offer Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, or other content management systems (CMS)? If so, use one of those - it eliminates the need for Frontpage or other similar software packages. The CMS becomes the website, and it’s simple to create new entries/articles, manage media, lists of links, etc.

Look into CMS software as mentioned above.
I've used Expression Web 2 a little bit and find it works ok. The UI looks like dreamweaver IMO

What is Microsoft’s latest name change for FrontPage?
Those morons think nothing of changing around an entire user interface and hiding or moving everything you've used for years
The RIBBON bar at the top of MS Office Word SUCKS and takes 1/3 of my laptop screen to show me functions i NEVER USE.
Instead of coming out with FrontPage 2008 or ForntPage 2010 they changed it all around and I don't even know what the latest name is
Same with NetMeeting - it was once the single most useful piece of software I ever used from Microsoft- but it's gone in Vista and replaced by something hideous - probably a pay service
Google is in prime position if they create a new operating system that duns current windows software and stops the endless Microsft BLOATWARE
Win2K pro was the best operating system, XP Pro was not bad too. I took a Vista machine I bought and reformatted it to run XPPro and it was AT LEAST 10 times as fast.
Any one know what land mines they have in Win7 yet?

What is Microsofts latest name change for FrontPage?
Expression Web and SharePoint Designer - both carry over code from FrontPage. FrontPage itself was dropped several years ago.
Win2K pro was the best operating system, XP Pro was not bad too. I took a Vista machine I bought and reformatted it to run XPPro and it was AT LEAST 10 times as fast.

None for me so far (work and home) - huge improvement in stability and user experience over Vista. I haven't missed XP since installing 7.

Agree on FrontPage. This was easy to use and did a great job. Guess Microsoft couldn’t improve it to keep getting upgrade sales so they had to do a reset with something else to start the upgrade cycle anew.

I always have liked FP I would like to continue with a little more page flexibility. I would really not like having to reformat or redo all my web pages.

Also a Front Page user here - my web site has about 300 MB of text and images, all in FP.
I intend to stay with the last FP release as long as I can.

Hi. I use Dreamweaver CS4 and it works fine with Vista 64 bit, as does the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite. Perhaps you tried an older version?

What particular kind of flexibility are you looking for?
To: Chickensoup
Dreamweaver. It's a standard and easy to use. I am a professional HTML person providing flat pages and HTML for dynamic web applications. I wouldn't use anything else. Even if you use a CMS you are going to need to build a customized template using some kind of editor. If you do use a CMS I highly suggest
e107. There are tons of apps written for it. It's free and easy to use and install. All you need is a PHP 5 ready server and a MySQL DB.
