Tutorial outline

Touring FrontPage
Before you develop a Web page, familiarize yourself with the layout and features of Microsoft FrontPage.

Using Web templates
Learn about creating forms, conducting surveys, connecting your site to a database, and displaying the contents of a database on your site.

Using themes
Web templates usually use a theme, which is a standard design for all of the pages included in your site. Themes make it easy to format the appearance of a Web site.

Using shared borders for navigation
One of the most important considerations when you create a Web site is ease of navigation for the users.

Using categories
Many Web sites use a site index to make it easier for site visitors to find the pages they need.

Creating a threaded discussion
A threaded discussion allows users to join an online conversation at any time and to be able to quickly understand the current discussion. The Discussion Web Wizard makes it easy to add a threaded discussion to your course Web site.

Managing your Web site
You can maintain your Web site using reports that allow you to get a high-level view of the health and vitality of your site.
