Frontpage Vs Dreamweaver
Hello everyone, i'm in the planning process of developing a large website. It'd start at about 1000 pages and will need an SQL database in it. Just wondering what is the quickest and easiest program to use for such data. i'm doing an accommodation listing and information website. Once again any tips from the experts.

In my personal opinion I would always choose Dreamweaver. Frontpage is for the 14yr old learning to develop websites at home, Dreamweaver is for those who are about to start like yourself. Find a good host for your database needs.

I am a bit older than 14, but I learned on Frotpage then shifted to DW. Frontpage is a novice's answer on how to get a site up quick and learn a bit as you go while DW is a professional solution. Both have their place.

Thanks alot for your posts. i was thinking that dreamweaver was the way to go. Just a quick question. To do an SQL database in Dreamweaver is there a wizard that can help you or do you have to do all the coding yourself.

There are wizards in Dreamweaver for databaase connections. HAving said that, it is worth learning how to write the code yourself if you have the time, as your code will be more streamlined adn you will develop a better understanding of db and sql.
For what it's worth, avoid Frontpage like the plague. I started in web development in 98 with a copy of Frontpage (as I suspect a lot of people on here may have done). I found it really over-complicated with the site structure it enforced etc. and switched to Dreamweaver (version 2 I think it was back then!). Used Dreamweaver ever since, although I use it as a glorified text editor rather than a Wysiwyg editor!

I have used both. Front page writes heavy code - lots of garbage code that is not needed. Dreamweaver code is much lighter although the MX version is a little buggy IMO. I just bought DW 8 and it should arrive on Tuesday - I hope that they debugged a few things.

Dreamweaver is hands-down the best out of these two. As said by Egol, FrontPage has some of the most bloated code available out there. It's like putting a Word document online, just harder to read.
One thing to remember is that it doesn't matter which tool you use, you should always make the effort to learn the code behind it, as this is teh only way you'll ever get to do things as efficiantly as possible. Wizards are great, but they leave a lot of overheard and bloat, no matter what tool you're using.

Best!
all WYSIWYGs are for 14 year olds.
Textpad works great since a displayed element is often different in the software compared to the browser... you really don't [always] get what you see - but the code never changes.
