Web Development Software
Generic Website has taken on various forms over the years. The common theme with each of the sites has been simplicity. Various software packages have been used at different times to create different kinds of websites.
Depending on your needs, there are many options for choosing the right software for website creation.
The website development software used by Generic Website is currently FrontPage, a Microsoft product. This meets the needs for this type of site, which is simple and direct.
Why Use FrontPage Software?
A lot of developers don't like MS FrontPage. Sites developed with FrontPage do require the server hosting the site to have FrontPage Extensions installed. This is one reason why FrontPage isn't well liked by developers. See the Generic Website page called Website Hosting for more information about hosting a website online.
It should also be noted that Microsoft is discontinuing FrontPage and replacing it with SharePoint Desginer and Expression Web.
