5 Quick & Dirty Tips For Making Better Looking Websites Using Microsoft FrontPage

Creating professional looking websites can be indeed challenging.

Making a site that looks even halfway decent can be a bit different!

There are literally thousands of rickety looking mom and pop sites that look like they were built by an html novice.

Is that how you want your web sites to be?

I hope not. Especially when it is so gosh-darn easy to make your sites look more professional using Microsoft FrontPage.

Here are 5 features that FrontPage will instantly introduce to make your websites look more professional.

Re-sizable, High Resolution Images And Icon Collection

I so few people know just how good the Microsoft Clipart collection is. This repository of images is produced and sustained by one of the wealthiest companies on the planet. In both quantity and quality of available pictures it completely obliterates any other collection I have found on the net.

Best part...For all FrontPage owners, it is absolutely free!

More than a million clipart images and photos, all accessible through a keyword search.

And if you happen to be connected to the Internet, you can even search this on-line gallery from within FrontPage while you're working.

When you see a images that look similar, they can take space on your website, look really professional and help your reach each page of your website, all you need to do is add one that looks unique. So this is a bit better than just having the affiliate link

Features of the Interactive Button

In Microsoft FrontPage 2003, there is new Interactive Buttons.

In essence, you can pick from 200+ various designs of predesigned buttons to insert into your site. These buttons are awesome and can be created and edited in 1 click.

Rollover buttons that you would have had to pay a graphic designer for, or spend hours on yourself creating, are handled automatically in FrontPage 2003.

In seconds, you can have a very professional-looking site with buttons like these.

Using HTML Tables

However, we cannot mention enough that the data of your web pages should typically be included in some html table. It is also easy to add the content to the tables (using a button from the toolbar).

This can be used to center the content of your page and make small neat tables once you get a hand of it (it is simple). So, your content is not all over the page.

Included Content

FrontPage offers this functionality which is a great way to modify a reader with hundreds of websites changing just one html page. For instance, I discussed earlier that you should use interactive buttons to create a navigation system. FrontPage has a feature that lets you 'include' this navigation system on all your web pages.

This means if you want to add a new category or link to each page on your site you only have to perform the adjustment in one location, the ‘navigation. html' file in 'htm' page, and change that page contents.

The updates will be seen on hundreds of pages on your website instantly.

This is 10,000x easier than going through each page and editing the links bar!

Web Forms

FrontPage provides a web forms option to create feedback forms. These forms not only look good but they help you to get rid of your spam issues.

So while many a goofy webmaster has forked over exorbitant sums to other companies to process a form, it has been available to FrontPage users free and easy for years.

This powerful tool allows you to create any type of feedback form in just a few minutes and send the results of the form submission to any email address you want.

To conclude:

Now, I just gave you 5 tools that very few people know about, and they allow you to build websites while keeping them pro looking and quickly.

It might not sound like much, but remember this:

Assuming you pay $50 and get a nice looking banner graphic for your new affiliate site.

I then made finded a nice html table, past in the fanner and so forth with an interactive buttons which you create in FrontPage 2003.

Each new page you create (for articles, and other information about the product you are promoting) can use the same very general template.

Then you spruce up each page with pretty clipart photo or two from the Microsoft Clipart gallery.

With these simple techniques you can sew together a professional looking site in under an hour or 2, even if you have no prior experience.
