Tips

Untitled A real FrontPage timesaver is to use the Get Background and Colors from Another Page check box in the Background tab of the Page Properties dialog box. This copies all the color choices and the background image from another page into the current one. It's very handy for keeping your pages' appearance consistent.

The FrontPage themes feature is a great idea, but if you want your site to be taken seriously, don't use the prepackaged themes without modifying them. FrontPage's popularity has ensured that Web users recognize them fairly easily, and they instantly detract from the professional credibility of a Web site. They also suffer from an annoying sameness to one another. If you use them, be sure you make them yours. See the "Designer's Corner" section at the end of the chapter for more discussion of this issue.

If you want to offer your FrontPage web in multiple languages, you should design them as completely separate webs. If you want, you can use the Copy Web command to copy the finished web and then translate the copy, but remember that icons and symbols might mean very different things to different cultures. In fact, that's another reason to maintain different webs for different languages.

An effective collaborative development environment will never be accomplished without a single individual in charge of the process with whom the "buck stops." The project needs one person whose job is to watch the entire project from above and ensure that the task at hand is being met. Although it is the nature of Web designers to want to work in an atmosphere of teamwork, someone still needs to be in charge. Choosing the right project manager is at least as important as choosing the technology with which you will implement the project.

If you haven't yet picked the development platform for your collaborative project, consider the extra features offered by a Team Web. They offer a set of communication and discussion tools that are well worth the installation and maintenance effort.
