MS FrontPage? Say What?
Websites were the new shiny toys when I got into real estate back in 1996. I was kind of a techie back then, and even though I started my business web presence with a templated, low functioning website, I yearned to design one of my own. So I designed my first version of spake.com sometime in early 1988 in Microsoft FrontPage 97. [Disclaimer: I am currently affiliated with Revid Realty and not any of the companies show in these ancient screen shots.]

I had no talent for design, but not many others did either. I just wanted and efficient site that would bring business my way. Even though the last version of FrontPage was 2003, I think, I hung in there with it until just this month, when I cut over to the WordPress platform. Here is a short trip down Memory Lane:

I don’t have the very last FrontPage version, but this is the last capture from the Way Back Machine (2009)

The all new and improved spake.com is up and running. Check it out!
