As a member of the web designing community and in my continual search of the internet, I've come across many reviews of web development/internet related software.  Despite the "bad knocks" that FrontPage has received, I am a strong advocate of the software and would recommend it highly to anyone.  As of this writing, FrontPage has been replaced by Microsoft's latest entry into the web page design area "Expression Web".  "Expression Web" sells for approximately $260; however, if you're careful, you might be able to still find "new" versions of FrontPage 2003 on EBay.  But be cautious as Microsoft changed their software that year making transfer of the program from one computer to another very difficult if not impossible.

As you are aware by now, AOL back in October 2008 dropped Easy Designer and its free web space called AOL Hometown on both its free and paying customers.  What a sad day that was.  Don't despair, however, as there are still options available to you and I'm not just talking about blogs or journals which have become popular over the last several years.  Over the next several months I'll be reviewing other web design products some of which are available for free and provided you also with hosting options free as well as low-cost.  Please come back often to learn of these options.

Some of these programs include AOLPress, Notepad, Wordpad, NVU and WS_FTP Pro in addition to FrontPage (various versions) all of which I have used and feel comfortable in suggesting that you try them.

Below I've compiled a listing of the items for your information only. It is up to you and completely at your OWN risk*, as to whether or not you wish to try any of them. (Stormy's Web by creating this list does not endorse the items shown below except those noted above and accepts NO responsibility/liability for any loss due to viruses, spyware and other internet maladies etc.).

In the event that you may be interested, I've placed hyperlinks to the websites where you can read more.  In many cases, you can find downloads at http://www.snapfiles.com. A few other sites where these downloads can be found are http://www.download.com and http://www.tucows.com.

If anyone does try these programs or has had experience with them, please let me know.  Perhaps you would be kind enough to volunteer a review of the product.
