The first page of a newspaper or other publication, typically the most prominent. Used also as an adjective, meaning of major importance or worth putting on the front page; front matter.
The back page of a newspaper may include smaller stories or teasers about other big stories in the paper. This is often done to entice the reader into reading further, like a teaser for an upcoming film or book. The back page can also be a good place to list other similar products if you have them, such as additional books or e-books that relate to the main product being advertised on the front page.
In the US, Backpage was a classified ads website that had controversial legal issues surrounding its facilitation of sex trafficking. In 2014, three Jane Does who were sex trafficked as minors sued Backpage, alleging that their traffickers used the website to post ads offering them for sex. The court ruled that the site did not violate CDA Section 230 because it did not create the content of the ads, but merely published and distributed third-party content.
Microsoft FrontPage was a WYSIWYG HTML editor and Web site administration tool that was part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 to 2006. It included a tag editor, Code Snippets, and other features to hide the details of coding language from the user. It was replaced by newer products such as Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer.
