The Fabulous World of FrontPage

FrontPage is used at DVC to create and maintain both college and instructor websites.  While the following tutorials apply to both types of websites, the initial access procedure is different (Voyager server for instructor sites and the DVC server for college sites).

  • Style guidelines were established for college websites (any website with www.dvc.edu) to maintain a common appearance and assist users when working on webpages. To review a brief example, please go to the Style Guidelines Page.
  • Department webpages must conform to the established style guidelines, even though some of the functions covered in the tutorials below reference design elements for faculty webpages.
  • Faculty webpages located on the Voyager site are not required to adhere to the DVC style guidelines.

The following tutorials cover most basic procedures that an individual would use when constructing a site.  If you do not find what you need here, please contact Neal Skapura at nskapura@dvc.edu or ext. 2878 or consider a Google search for your question.
