Need Help Please - which software is best going from Front Page 20

[Belablue]

Hi - I have two websites that I created with Front Page 2003. It is my
understanding that I need to update them soon so that they will continue to
work properly with current net standards.

I am an artist and my site is mostly photos of my art and some text and a
few links - though I would like to set-up a check-out cart linked to Paypal
soon.

I am not super web-building savvy but am comfortable with Front Page and
after some long nights & a bit of work I have learned to use it quite
comfotably. I also use it for some Ebay auctions for my artprints by
grabbing the html code from Front Page.

Which software program would be easiest to learn for building my websites
and will also provide me with the html capability? will I have to rebuild
the site from scratch or is there an upgrade from Front Page to expressions?
There are so many different versions of Expressions and now Expressions 2 out
there including one that is an "upgrade" I am totally confused and really
want to get going on this ASAP. Also - I understand that Sharepoint might be
another option?

It seems the more I read the more confusing it gets....

Many Thanks for any help you can provide me - I really appreciate your time

FrontPage has been discontinued, Expression Web is it's "replacement". There
is no actual upgrade, the term is for marketing purposes for pricing.

You need to understand that any web authoring program is just a tool. If you
don't know HTML, CSS, etc., your web sites may never be compliant with any
software you use.
