A front-page article is one that appears on the first page of a newspaper. It typically contains the most important story of the day, but it may also tease readers to other stories inside the edition.
The term front-page may also refer to an introductory paragraph on a website that gives a reader a taste of what they’ll find on the rest of the site. The front-page content often serves as a sort of landing page to attract readers, and it’s a good place to include links to other relevant pages on the site.
When it comes to newspapers, the front-page usually includes the top news story of the day from the country in which the paper is published. However, if there is a major story that affects people from other countries, the front-page might include that too. A front-page article might also feature a photo or illustration of the most compelling news of the day.
Microsoft FrontPage (full name Microsoft Office FrontPage) is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and Web server administration tool from Microsoft for Windows operating systems. It was part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 to 2006, and it was superseded by two new products in December of that year: Microsoft Expression Web and Microsoft SharePoint Designer.
FrontPage required a set of server-side plugins known as FrontPage Server Extensions, or FPSE, which worked on both Windows and Unix-based servers. Frequent security problems marred the history of FPSE, and Microsoft eventually replaced it with standard protocols and its own Web publishing technology for its Internet Information Services server software.
