FrontPage Express was Microsoft’s free, stripped-down version of FrontPage that came bundled with Internet Explorer 4.0 in 1997, basically giving everyday PC users a quick way to build a personal website without knowing HTML. It was like the “lite” version—no fancy team tools, no server extensions—just drag, drop, type, and publish straight to your ISP’s hosting space. Unlike the full Microsoft FrontPage (which kept evolving with Office 97, 2000, and 2003), Express never got a real update and quietly disappeared by the early 2000s when Microsoft started pushing users toward paid FrontPage or newer web authoring tools. If you built a neon-text, scrolling-marquee GeoCities site back in the late ‘90s, there’s a good chance FrontPage Express was your starter kit.
