Switching from Frontpage 2003
« on: October 23, 2010, 07:32:40 AM »
I have been using FP 2003 for my web site, and now am encountering all kinds of problems that can't be fixed.  Is there a program that I can switch to which will download my current files without me having to redesign all my web site pages?  I have a desktop HP with Windows 7 operating system, and use Ipower as my server.  Will Expressions Web work?  thanks.

I'd imagine ExpressionsWeb would work as it is another product from MS, but I'd recommend contacting them before purchasing.

I would switch to Dreamweaver... it shouldn't be all that bad in making the necessary fixes to get your page right... I've used FP, EW and Dreamweaver... Prefer Dreamweaver!!

Like BenFranklin said, Adobe Dreamweaver is the the best. Here is a comparison of popular if HTML editors:

It may be the best, but it's not always that easy to get (i.e. pay for) for some people

The best HTML editor is a text editor.

Dreamweaver provides a HTML editor but most people recommend it not for it's HTML editing but for it's HTML designing; that is, the WYSIWYG HTML designer it uses.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

"Expression Web 4" is the newest version but a sister product would be "Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007" the download is free and the link is

Do not do 2010 unless you have the whole sharepoint package on a server or else it will not function.
