I would avoid FrontPage like the plague. Not only is it MS-centric, it can also corrupt your site in a heartbeat, causing hours of agony rebuilding by hand. Word is pretty heinous when it comes to web pages. The garbage code generated is amazing. If you have *real simple* needs and don't have anything else, I guess it's OK, but would you use a set of vise grips to adjust your valves? Right tool for the right job.

I live in the Mac world, but I know a few windoze-versions. Can't comment on cheap ones, but I can on good ones. If you are more focused on page layout, Dreamweaver is a great choice. If you have serious site management concerns, GoLive is better imho.

But remember real developers use a text editor . Luckily I'm not much of a real developer anymore, so I move between GoLive and BBEdit when I need to muck around...
