...From what I`m reading, it sounds as if the big problem with Web design
is maybe the vision....the mission statement? It seems as if designers
are selling themselves more as carpenters and interior decorators,
helping to put together an electronic store. But what if they`re in
fact, exactly what Digitalvision is saying, a new type of ad agency?...
...Today`s ad agencies look at a Web site as a secondary form of
marketing. Isn`t it actually becoming the primary tree-trunk of the
entire market campaign? What`s wrong with the Web agency being the
primary contractor, then sub-contracting various tasks like logo
design, print-media and collaterals, radio-TV-Podcasting, and
everything?
Instead of showing up as a "little guy," being the sub-contractor for
what sounds like it`s being called an "after-thought" to many companies, why not
re-invent the entire process and market yourself (selves) as a Web
Development Marketing & Advertising Agency?...Craig -This is actually a great thought. I think it`s a little ahead of the market, unfortunately. It`s amazing to me how hard it still is to convince some businesses that spending money on a market appropriate website should at least be one of the cornerstone methods for communicating with their customer base.Thanks for the input, I`m interested to hear what other people think about your epiphany...R-
AMEN! I usually have a reason for going on these sites and don`t have time to sit and block pop-ups that have bypassed my pop-up blocker!
I have a question, though. You all have made your point about Microsoft Frontpage but I`m afraid that`s the program I used for my site. As someone who has only put together my own site, (the first attempt being in WORD, LOL) what *is* the better program that will not break the bank? I love my site and am only thinking of changing the *way* it`s coded plus implementing some of your aforementioned suggestions, not the design. Thoughts?MCSnow2/6/2008 6:35 PM

FrontPage (now "expressions") like any other piece of software is a tool. It is not basically a bad tool but can produce extra code if you use some of the "bells and whistles". Expressions and the last version of FP are both more CSS friendly.
I would not toss FP out the door. Just be aware of what you producing (html code) and FP will work fine.

Roland, I have FP `97 (lol) so I doubt it`s very up to date on code issues. Not that I`d know what I`m looking for anyway. I appreciate your message!
