FrontPage Features
FrontPage is comprehensive site creation & management software with many useful features not found in similar products. FrontPage consists of the Explorer, a graphical site management tool comfortably similar to the Windows Explorer, and the Editor, a powerful WYSIWYG and HTML page creation tool.

The FrontPage Explorer provides excellent features that take the difficulty out of managing a web site, such as automatically updating hyperlinks when file names or paths change. Multiple views allow the user to analyze how their hyperlinks are intertwined, as well as easily fix broken ones. A powerful Find command makes it easy to update content across all the site's pages.

The FrontPage Editor makes it possible for novices to create web pages using the graphical WYSIWYG interface (it isn't necessary to know HTML!). Power users will find the ability to edit their HTML directly, right along side with the graphical interface.

Rounding out the package are Webbots, plug-and-play software components that provide essential web functions, like a search engine, hit counters, discussion group Themes provide an instant, consistent graphical design scheme across a web site.
