Reasons to use BackStage™ over FrontPage or Dreamweaver

#10 - The Learning Curve
FrontPage 2000 comes with a manual that's 277 pages long. Dreamweaver 4.0 comes with a manual that's 582 pages long. The BackStage™ manual,... 6 pages.

#9 - No Uploading
If you've tried to manage a site, you know that uploading files to the server can be a nerve-racking process. One false move and you can over write your images directory or your home page disappears!

Unlike regular html editing programs, BackStage ties you directly into the content of your website. Because you're changing database records and not .html or .htm pages, there's nothing to over write.

#8 - Old Technology
HTML editors use old technology requiring each web page to be created separately. This means if you had a 50 page site and wanted to add one more "page", you would need to change the navigation on all 50 pages, plus the one you're adding! Using BackStage™ means your navigation is built on the fly. Add a page and it creates its own navigation throughout the site. Remove a page and the navigation removes itself.

#7 - Updating
Anyone who has been involved with a site redesign with HTM(L) files knows what a chore it can be. Once you decide on a new look, it has to be applied to every page of the site. This can take days or even weeks. With BackStage™ you can completely change your site's design with the click of the mouse. Update your site design every day!

#6 - User Options
BackStage™ automatically creates the menu, sitemap, search function and printer friendly pdf files of each page of your site. This gives people browsing your site the most options for how they would like to view it. No HTM(L) editor can offer this many options.

#5 - Testing
Every site in the Design Center has been designed by professionals and tested to work on every computer, every browser and any monitor that is 800 x 600 or larger.

#4 - Hosting
HTM(L) editors don't (and can't) offer hosting. The price of your BackStage™ site includes all hosting fees (50MB drive space, up to 5 e-mail accounts).

#3 - Search Engine Submission
There's no point in building a website that no one can find. BackStage™ gives you easy online tools to submit your site to all the major search engines.

#2 - Time
Using BackStage™ means your working smarter not harder. There's no need to keep track of broken links in your menu because you deleted an outdated page. There's no need to start from scratch the next time you want to give your site a new look. And there's no need to worry about over writing files on the server every time you do an update.

#1 - Savings!
By the time you buy the program ($150 - $350), take the time to learn the manuals (277 - 582 pages), design the interface for your site, create the individual pages, upload them to the server and pay for hosting, you'll find that BackStage™ is a true bargain!
