PC Help: How to get hold of Frontpage

Q My old PC used Windows XP Professional, which had the Frontpage software to edit my website.

I now have a new PC with Windows Vista and it doesn’t include Frontpage.

Is there a way to access and edit my website?

A Frontpage doesn’t come with Windows – it’s a separate program, although it may already have been installed when you bought the old computer.

It’s not available for sale any more because it has been replaced by a new Microsoft product called Expression Web, although that is aimed at professionals and is quite costly.

There is a free equivalent called Visual Web Developer but you might find that it’s a bit advanced for your needs. It’s quite a big download, so it’s only suitable for broadband users.

You may be able to pick up a second-hand copy of the version of Frontpage you require from Amazon UK or Ebay. However, we’d recommend switching to another program such as Namo Web Editor. This program is better than Frontpage and easier to use, and you will be able to import your old website project files into the new program.
