Frontpage Microsoft Today

In the mid-to-late 1990s, building a website was an act of raw coding. You wrote HTML in a text editor (like Notepad), saved it as an .html file, and uploaded it via FTP. For the average Windows user, this was intimidating. Then came Microsoft FrontPage —a product that promised to do for web design what Microsoft Word did for document writing. What Was Microsoft FrontPage? Microsoft FrontPage was a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor and website management tool. First developed by Vermeer Technologies Inc., it was acquired by Microsoft in 1996 and quickly integrated into the company’s suite of web tools.
