Microsoft FrontPage is an easy-to-use website administration tool which was included in the Microsoft Suite until 2003. Although FrontPage has now been discontinued, this user-friendly software is still a valuable page-building program for users who want a simple website creation platform which doesn’t require knowledge of .html or advanced programing languages. This easy to use e-book manual provides a great introduction to beginners who are just getting started with FrontPage, and will also act as a useful reference guide for those who need support in day-to-day tasks. It is available as a free download here.

FrontPage allows users to create and design web pages as they will appear in their final online versions; it also allows the side-by-side management and comparison of all pages in a web environment. This guide introduces a wide range of basic jargon and internet concepts, and walks users through the process of creating webs on FrontPage: working with folders and files, formatting text and paragraphs, creating numbered lists, manipulating page properties such as backgrounds as margins, inserting images, photo galleries and graphics, creating external hyperlinks and bookmarks, frameset properties, FrontPage themes, shared borders, online forms, discussion groups, and utilizing the FrontPage Tasks Manager. Full-color diagrams and screen shots are included throughout the manual, and helpful information is highlighted for quick reference.
