dreamweaver takes a little work to get comfortable with, but after you work with it for awhile it is very powerful.

I prefer dreamweaver, it is easy and very powerful if you know the features inside.

Dreamweaver is the better of the two, but it is VERY complex, and I'd say that Frontpage is the easier of the two. However, I remember a member of this forum bought Frontpage a while back, and she didn't seem to know how to use it, so either way, a beginner or "non tech" person will likely have a difficult time adjusting. However, you can get training videos for either on video for about $25, which will make learning how to use them a lot easier.

I am a freelance graphic designer, and I would say that Frontpage is the more simple program of the two. However, Dreamweaver is by far a much more powerful program. Though a bit more complex, Dreamweaver is in my opinion, far superior to Frontpage.
If you feel a bit timid approaching Dreamweaver, there are hundreds of video tutorials on YouTube. These tutorials are great and you will soon find yourself more comfortable when using this program.
Best luck,

I downloaded a trial copy of DreamWeaver and couldn't figure out how to use it. It is the better of the two, but...
FrontPage was reworked from the ground up a couple of years ago and is now called Expression Web (EW), but in your web hosting account you still enable "FrontPage Extensions".
I watched the Microsoft online demo of EW and said, "That's exactly what I need." So I bought it. I used FrontPage for years, but boy, does it ever leave some nasty stuff in the code and it didn't conform to standards.
Like I said, they completely rewrote it and the GUI interface is much different. EW comes with a tutorial DVD from Total Learning. It really helped me out because I would have been lost without it.
EW conforms to coding standards and makes use of CSS. I'm not a professional developer, but I really like it for my needs.
