I know Frontpage is not the latest for creating websites, but that’s what I have and…?

I called a web developer to help me with a new thing… I found a good webhost that supports frontpage extensions. They have a shopping cart that I want to hook up my website to, eventually, and that is why I called this fella. Well this web developer told me that he would have to redo my entire website and omit Frontpage and it would cost $2000 now and $2000 later on for something (I quit listening after the 1st $2000). Anyway, he further said that Frontpage sites are never found on a search, they are obsolete and he wouldn’t put his name to a Frontpage site. I reiterated that all I wanted was hooked up to this shopping cart, but he was not budging.

So, my main question to you is whether you know if Frontpage is that bad or not? Are Frontpage websites hidden from searches for some reason? Can you explain?

I’ll be willing to change if his claims hold water, but I would rather just go to a host that has templates to choose from or else spend for adobe or something of that nature. I would NEVER pay $2000 + $2000. That is ludacrous!

Thanks in advance.

What free/cheap and EASY web design software do you recommend?

My boss is passing the torch of maintaining and designing our website on to me. We already have a host/provider, so please no suggestions that I set up a site through Yahoo or Google. What I need to know is what kind of software exists that will allow me to easily create web pages for any platform. I’ve heard of Microsoft Frontpage and am considering it, but I’d also like to know what else is out there.

Also, I’m a PC person, and my boss built the original site on a Mac. Please take that into consideration. And, if you don’t mind, speak in terms that those of us who aren’t computer whizzes can understand.

Thanks so much!

Looking for web template with forum?

I am looking to buy a web template for my website that is fairly easy for me to run and update. I would like it to have a main website with articles and links/sponsors that i will post/update a few times per week.

I also want the website to have a forum for discussion. I don’t want the forum to be the main page.

I use dreamweaver, frontpage, adobe photoshop, flash, fireworks.

I have hosting through godaddy.com and the plan i have seems to support everything including 25 sql databases, etc.

Any fairly easy solutions? Help a brotha out!
