We don't particularly like making this comparison, because there simply is no basis for comparison of these two products - they each employ a very different approach to the task of site creation and management. SiteObjects and Microsoft FrontPage are not, by their very nature and purpose, similar or comparable products. If you are dead-set on building your own web site, stop reading here. FrontPage attempts to be both a developer product and a user product, the purpose of the product being to both build and maintain web sites. We believe that such a philosophy is ridiculous.
Business people have too much to do to take time to become skilled in building web sites.
There are many things that, in the simple interest of efficiency and common sense, need to be left to specialists. Building web sites is one of those things. And even in the case of a larger organization that does want to do in-house development, SiteObjects can still greatly reduce the scope and complexity of that task. On the other hand, maintaining a web site is the user side of the equation. Therefore, regardless of what technologies are used by those building the site, there needs to be a way to update content that a non-technical person can learn in five minutes.
