Microsoft FrontPage has been awarded nine years in a row as the best web design tool around. Unfortunately it has been discontinued in favor of a newer program, but there are still FrontPage templates available for those using the program. FrontPage website templates are available for all different types of websites. There are also thousands of free FrontPage templates for you to download and work with.

FrontPage has been in production for many years, so the FrontPage template you decide on needs to be compatible with the version of the program that you are running. Microsoft FrontPage templates can be used from older versions of the program in the newer versions, but you will not be able to use newer templates in the older versions. For example, FrontPage 2000 templates can be used in any of the versions made after 2000, however FrontPage 2003 project management templates may not be used in the 2000 version. FrontPage 2000 free templates were designed in the program and specifically for that program, so if you carry them over there may be some minor technical difficulties. There are also FrontPage 2002 business consulting templates made, much like the project management templates that are created for a specific purpose.

Free FrontPage templates are available for every version and for every purpose. Free church FrontPage templates are available for non-profit organizations trying to promote themselves without a budget, specifically churches. Church FrontPage templates may have small indicators of their religious affiliations. Though these FrontPage web templates are designed specifically for one arena, they can also be slightly modified and carried into other areas.

For those skilled in using Macromedia Flash, you can find Flash and FrontPage templates free online to combine simple web design with animation. Free FrontPage 2002 templates can thus be carried into Flash to have animated menus and interaction added.

FrontPage templates can be used to design web pages for any purpose. These templates also make it possible for those who have never done web design before to make professional looking websites without learning all of the interfacing that would be required to use other types of templates. When choosing a FrontPage template, make sure that it will allow you to organize your page the way you want it to, and it will be easy for you to fill in. Also remember that the year in which your version of FrontPage was released may affect which templates you can use.
