Best webpage ever.
I remember that Publisher could make web pages too. How? Since it was supposed to be WYSIWYG it exported the entire thing as a single image and used an html image map for the links.
frontpage used to be unironically good.
I don’t think I can agree with that, and I’m a pretty agreeable chap.
In the days when people actually cared about the html layout and readability, FP spammed everything hugely, and inserted a lot of terrible cruft. Inventing zillions of new <style> tags for everything, even when the user just wanted to italicise a word. Use a <i> tag? No! We’ll invent a whole new style class and embed it in the headers.
A few years ago I rather stupidly agreed to take over hosting of a website for someone that was dying. It had been written with FP and it took me months to de-cruft it using a lot of regexp and scrifting. (Some 8,000 images and around 2000 .html files).
frontpage could be used as an IDE, rather than just a WYSIWYG editor. it was decent at that IMO. and that was probably 15 years ago at least.
This is such a joy to behold
Ah! The glory days!
. . . i love this
unironically that era of the web was best.
also netscape composer > frontpage :3
I remember dreamweaver having plugins to remove frontpage bloated html
now we have ckeditor plugins to remove word bloat
