In no case should FrontPage be used for *anything* (ever). The HTML it produces is so wacky, so non-compliant, so "out there" that cleaning it up requires way more time than you save by using it. I use DW to: -- prototype the aesthetics of active sites -- tweak CSS layouts -- build static sites (yes, some folks still want them). Since I have been doing PHP lately, I have been using the Zend development environment. It is more consistent with how I work than other PHP environments I have tried.
