Microsoft FrontPage Tools
Rated: 
There are lots of tools out there in the market that can boost the capabilities of your installation of Microsoft FrontPage. Many of them have been updated to be compatible with FrontPage 2003, though some applications will work only with older versions. Listed below are some of the best tools for FrontPage.
FrontPage Code Cleaner
While Microsoft FrontPage provides many benefits to web designers and developers, it is criticized for adding a lot of unnecessary HTML code that makes HTML files less human-readable and longer to load on a browser (due to the file's relatively large size). To combat this, you can use Webmaster Toolkit's FrontPage Code Cleaner, which will read the web page that you'll specify and clean the unnecessary code generated by FrontPage. End result: a smaller HTML file that is fast to load and more readable by humans, too.
