Please bear with...I do have a question!
At my small company, one of my co-workers and I inherited maintenance of a
customer support website. The website content exists partly in HTML and
partly in Cold Fusion and was written by some third party person who is no
longer in the picture. The site is hard for us to update; we have modest
HTML skills and end up basically writing bits of HTML code in FrontPage 2000
or Notepad (these are the only tools we have). We then paste the revised code
into a tool that puts it on the website, on the proper page. We cannot
restructure the site per se; we can only change content.
We are now in the process of re-creating the website in HTML using
FrontPage. We don't have Cold Fusion and are turning that code into HTML as
well. We have improved the structure and will now have better, easier access
to the content, meaning we can update it more easily, and on a monthly basis.
QUESTION: If we upgrade to FrontPage 2003, and learn some basic Javascript
programming, will that likely be sufficient for completing and maintaining
our website, going forward? As I said, we only update the site about once
a month.
I've read about other software pgms that are considered outstanding for
creating websites. But most of those programs are a lot more expensive than
simply upgrading to FP2003 from the somewhat clunky FP 2000. We'd just as
soon stay with FP for that reason.
Are there many folks in these forums who are successfully and happily using
FP2003 to create and maintain their business websites? Any caveats, if we go
that route?
Many thanks for your help.
