Hi Tom,
>From your description, it sounds like you are not entirely familiar with
HTML development. So, it's hard to discern what exactly you mean by "user
friendly." If you mean by that that the product should enable you to create
web pages with little or no knowledge of HTML, there isn't one. Well,
FrontPage comes closest, but most people don't want cookie-cutter web sites.
The conflict arises because anything but cookie-cutter sites requires HTML
knowledge. FrontPage is the easiest toolkit to use, but that doesn't make it
easy to use. It's kind of like talking about the lowest mountain peak in the
Himalayas.

I have recently replaced my laptop and upgraded from WIN98 to XP and from Office 2000 to 2003. I published a small business web site from the laptop and used FP2000. I've been thinking about upgrading from FP2000 to 2003 also. Since I'm in the market I wonder whether to keep using FP or go to something else. I have a small retail business and currently use the site only for brochuring our catalog. I don't need much sophistication at present but want our customers to get a bit of "wow" when they visit. Here's the question: For a small potatoes, business web site, is FP 2003 all the tool I will need to handle. I've found FP2000 to be a bit cumbersome to do page layouts with and I had to manually build my screen-by-screen navigational system (the built-in navigational boarders were just too limiting.) Is FP2003 significantly more user (developer) friendly? Should I just stop looking to spend a lot more money on products like Dreamweaver? Is there an easy to understand set of criteria that would lead to an answer as to whether to pay the price for one of the big boys or stick with one I'm at least somewhat familier with? I'm not looking for a feature-by-feature comparison. Just some practical sense. Hoping to get an unbiased answer... Th
