Building websites with Frontpage
If you want to design a web page, you want it to look pulled together. The design elements and colors should be consistent across the web site. It can be difficult to select the right colors and graphics and to keep track of all the changes through a large site. Microsoft FrontPage offers a large selection of built in themes that can make creating a well designed site easy and fast. Themes are one of the most powerful features in Microsoft FrontPage.
Themes provide a set of unified design elements with complimentary color schemes that are applied to web sites to make the pages look professional. Themes are easy to use and can quickly get you up to speed before your page is uploaded. It saves a lot of time and design work, especially for inexperienced web masters.
Changing web themes is easy as selecting a new theme from the theme tool bar. The theme can be changed throughout the whole web site with just one click.
Themes contain colors, backgrounds, fonts and graphics. They will also have built in tables that make it easy to place extra design elements exactly where you want them. A theme can also provide you with the correct fonts for your needs, as well as the right size text for your body and text styles for headers, footers and headlines.
All you have to do to create a web site using a theme is select your theme and provide the content, such as web copy, and you will have a professional looking web site in a short amount of time.
If you find a theme that you like, but you would like to change font colors or graphics, it is easy to do that with Microsoft FrontPage. Themes are easily customizable and you can make the changes spread through your whole web site, no matter how large your web site is. This will make sure that your site has a consistent look throughout all pages. Inconsistent web pages across a large site looks amateurish and can reflect poorly on your business.
If you don't like any of the pre designed we themes that are supplied with Microsoft FrontPage, you can create your own theme with your own colors, graphics, photos and design elements.
You can create a theme based on a template that has been included in Microsoft FrontPage or you can download addition Microsoft FrontPage templates on the Internet from Microsoft's web site or from third party companies that will custom design a template just for you.
If you want a great web site, but you don't have time to learn good design or HTML coding and you don't want to pay someone thousands of dollars for a professional site, you can do it yourself with Microsoft FrontPage. Microsoft FrontPage makes its easy for everyday people to do their own website, giving them unsurpassed control over their web presence. Microsoft FrontPage is one of the very best web authoring tools for its great features like themes and the familiar interface.
