Web page design

[John]

I am a newcomer to web page design and am only looking for something fairly
basic, not too many bells and whistles!
During my search for hosting I have noticed some sites say they cannot support
FrontPage, is this a common problem, is Frontpage that unpopular, if so what do
you recomend. I already have FrontPage and have started my design using it,
should I stop and use something else?
Look forward to your comments!
Thanks
John

What the sites don't support is the FrontPage interface for
upload/download/edit.

If you have an FTP program, you can still transfer the HTML files and
graphics to the web site.

I don't use FrontPage because I don't like the interface or the output
code. Typically Microsoft, they want to "help" me entirely too much -
and put a LOT of garbage code into the HTML.

I've also created pages with Notepad, DreamWeaver (university
standard), and HomeSite (corporate client standard).

Samples:

Unless you really want to get hands on with Web Design you might check
into RootsWeb. They offer "canned" web pages I believe. I use Arachnophelia,
the older version, 4.0, and started in 1996 with a Sams (PhotoFact) how to
book. At that time I used Coffee Cup until I got tired of it and then
went to Word Pad, then to Arach... . I use Bullet Proof FTP, a great FTP
program: http://www.bpftp.com

I have been using Easyspace as my Web hosting environment for 5 or 6 years,
and they support the use of FrontPage extensions.
