I'm not sure of what you mean by "FrontPage server". Anyway, whatever we
might think of such replacement, they don't make the HTML broken.

I suspect that Philipp means a server with FrontPage Extensions installed...
but then, I suspect that you knew that already ;)

Re: client wants to use FrontPage

As other posters mention, ensure that your contact is for *only* the
initial design and implementation. Also, whatever your rates are for
maintenance and changes, make sure they know that your rates are at least
double to fix something the client fucked up by using MS-Frontpage.

Also, Dreamweaver is the more useful and more common web site development
tool. XMetal can be highly recommended. Lastly, Mozilla now has a rather
good editor.
