I need help and I am hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I have a website that I started with Frontpage about 5 years ago. I now have
upgraded to version 2003.

Our website is becoming very popular and it is very large now. We currently
have over 5,000 pages and we expect to keep growing by 2,000 pages a year for
a while. Our website isâ?¦ http://www.DestinationCoupons.com

I am having a few difficultiesâ?¦

1) The website takes forever to publish, so I have broken the big folders
into subwebs (this is what was recommended to me over a year ago). This is
not the best solution because everytime you save a change, you have to change
the default to â?? donâ??t save (graphics) because they reside on the main web â??
and you donâ??t want the same graphics in each subweb.

Is there any other solution to this managing a large website?

2) At what point is Frontpage going to self-destruct on me? Is there a limit
to the number of pages I can have? What is the best way to manage this large
website?
Is there a Frontpage 2003 expert I can talk to who can assess my site and
give me some advice? Can I pay someone to do it? If so, who?

Please help!

Look at Dynamic web templates, Database driven pages, and absolute image links
- there is no limit other than publishing / editing slows down as the site gets too large
- so the subwebs is the right solution
If you have access to the server, or your host will do, it they can also tune FP performance for large webs in the FP SE server
Administration

I suggest your company reconsider its entire focus Donna.
What your business needs to consider is a scalable platform solution such as
Microsoft Content Management Server [1].

A non-data-driven site with 5000 pages is a nightmare. I agree with

Is there someplace to have a glass of virtual eggnog together?
The drinks are on me, after Donna hires me as her consultant of course ;-)
