Selling products and collaborating
One of the best new features of Microsoft FrontPage 2002 is actually an add-in, the bCentral Commerce Manager. With a bCentral account, you can create a catalog, process credit card orders, and track your orders through its Order Manager. There's also the SharePoint Team Services feature, which helps you create an entire intranet where team members can share information and documents. Users can add and edit the content straight from within their Web browsers, so this is a boon to any business.
The stand-alone price for Microsoft FrontPage 2002 will probably be close to 2000's $149, but Microsoft FrontPage 2002 will be available first on May 31, 2001 as part of Office XP (the Standard edition will set you back $479, $239 for a version upgrade). Still, Microsoft FrontPage 2002 is a solid Web editor, especially for those who deal with a lot of Office content and want to work in that environment. The app does make short work of menial tasks such as generating site reports or hooking up a database, but many of its features target the beginning Web builder. Still, if you're already using FrontPage 2000, the Usage Analysis Reports alone are a great reason to upgrade.
