Be forewarned that FrontPage generates some really cryptic and
(sometimes) very IE-centric HTML code. Find a web site created with
Frontpage and look at the source code. It makes it very hard to "tweak"
HTML created with FrontPage after it's been generated. I personally
would shoot for "browser neutral" web pages. I don't think I'd pay to
have someone professionally develop web pages/sites for me if they used
FrontPage.

Dreamweaver is much better as a professional web development tool. I
was in the same predicament as you once and I opted for FrontPage. I
soon gave up on it as it did things it's own way (the Microsoft way)
and I became frustrated. I wish I had saved my pennies and bought
Dreamweaver first.

Just a thought, but maybe you can find an older version of Dreamweaver
cheap on ebay?
