![]() ![]() I needed to find out what else is out there for us. I work in the public sector and need to know two to three years in advance what I will need to budget for. I like the software and was bummed when I hear they were phazing out the "Plus" software series. I think the only time I've had to contact them is when I had a license issue as well. I have several Serif "Plus" products and have not had any issues with any of them. Otherwise, all those platforms do have active supporting communities, which I have used with some success.Hi Dan,ĭon't get me wrong. As I have never used any of the paid support options, perhaps others could chime in about available paid support for WordPress, Joomla, or others. If you need ongoing support, then one of the platforms which have available paid support may be something to consider. I've never needed any support with Serif WebPlus, in any event. I've never needed to contact Serif directly for support, other than for minor licensing issues, however, the community resources have been quite adequate for the few questions I've had in other Serif products. Serif does say, on their website, they will continue to sell and support it through the community for the foreseeable future. ![]() Got a question about FrontPage or WordPress? Drop me a comment.I do understand why you may want to have an option that is actively supported. Even if you decide that WordPress isn’t for you, it may be worth your while to get at least a little comfortable with it, since so many other people are using it. WordPress is also very easy to use and allows their users to use the WYSIWYG editor or view their entry in code.īoth programs offer many benefits, but one thing is for sure: more and more people are switching over to WordPress. Experienced users can use HTML code in the “code window”. New users can choose to use the “design window”, which features the “what you see is what you get” editor, also known as WYSIWYG for easy website building. The program offers various windows that allow users to build their website in different ways. This can save the business owner a lot of time and open up the range of people with who they can work with.Īnyone who is familiar with Microsoft’s word processing software, such as Word or Works, will find it easy to navigate FrontPage. If they hire an assistant that person can log into the site from their computer and upload their own work. WordPress is web based, which means that a user can sign into their account from any computer with an internet connection. If a business owner hires an assistant or helper for website updates, that person will need to have FrontPage to make sure everything is compatible. Many WordPress have also created widgets that can be used to make WordPress work exactly how the owner wants it to work.įor instance, there is a widget that creates a message that can be displayed at the beginning and end of each post which thanks the reader for visiting and invites them to sign up for the site’s RSS feed.įrontPage is a program that needs to be installed on your computer. There is a large community of WordPress users, and if you ever need assistance you can find help through one of their many forums. It is very easy to install and new versions are being released all the time. WordPress is a free, open source blogging platform that can also be used to create websites. In the case of FrontPage, this is already outdated software, as Microsoft has since released Expression Web, an updated HTML editor that replaces Frontpage. FrontPage and other competing programs are available for retail purchase at prices around $100 and higher. The Non-Technical Difference Between FrontPage And WordPressįor many people, price can be a big issue. Or, if you have already created your website, you may be wondering if you should make the switch to WordPress. So, if you are in the process of designing a website for your business, you may be wondering if you should use Frontpage or WordPress. There is plenty of room for technical debate, but the people making these decisions are often decidedly non-technical. So, I thought other people might be interested in a non-technical view of this issue. Now, don’t get me wrong, FrontPage was OK once upon a time, but the idea of creating a static site these days using a tool like FrontPage makes my skin crawl. They were thinking about building a website using FrontPage. I had a funny conversation with someone this weekend. ![]()
