Standards-Based Web Sites
With Expressions Web, you can create CSS-based, XHTML 1.0 Transitional-conforming Web sites by default. This means that you creations will work better across browsers, simplifying deployment and maintenance. You'll be able to configure flexible schema settings to support all combinations of HTML, XHTML, Strict, Transitional, Frameset and CSS 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1 plus browser-specific schemas, and validate your site with compatibility and accessibility reporting and against Section 508 and W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

A sophisticated CSS rendering engine inside gives you the confidence to make design decisions on the fly, and you can even try out CSS styles on the page with drag-and-drop style management and migrate them to a central repository. Typing aids and IntelliSense in the Code View make your process extremely efficient and fast.

Using drag-and drop tools for quick visualization, you can build and format views of industry-standard XML data. An XPath Expression Builder allows you to create complex queries, and XSL Transform (XSLT) support gives you the flexibility to present data any way you want. The software can also help you retrieve and present XML data via live RSS feeds that match your site's formatting.

No code data binding is required with the application's integrated support for server and user controls.

Microsoft Expression Web Upgrade from FrontPage [OLD VERSION] Reviews

It is still light years behind Dreamweaver. This version of Expression is ok. I was expecting a much more rounded and intuitive product from Microsoft. Not too many new features for my personal use. Wait until Microsoft makes some real changes in the software before upgrading. If you have the last version of Front Page don't waste the money on this product.

Be patient and read everything, and watch the training video, it takes time but is worth it. This is the biggest downside of the program. Over all it should be an okay program for building and managing websites. The navigation setup is a lot different and not as easy as FrontPage, but is manageable. The "simple" use of photo galleries from external sources is a joke for anyone not an expert. It is harder than it looks, but does make nice pages. I must say I loved FrontPage, and I was not sure about this upgrade.

It is a great product, easy to use and fast to start working with it.

I had to go back through as somehow I got around 25 styles (a fifth time). I watched the quickstart video from microsoft expression http://www.microsoft.com/expression/kc/resources.aspx.type=quickstart and was able to figure basic html changes from front page in a day. The biggest improvement on my site was switching to layers from old style frames. The advantage is when you paste text or art into a layer it is fully drag positional vs a frame. Imports include errors (highlighted in html)but does make it function without front page extensions. After importing I found it better to copy and past text and functions/objects to remove errors into a new page rather then edditing them in the imported page.

Even then I had to redo it a 4th time because if you copy text it comes with bad code unless you specify text only. This can cause a mess of extra code so watch and try to use as few styles as possible rather then creating more and more and then when you redifine the style it change all text using that style even in different locations keeping uniformity. But now I have an error free compliant website. Using Styles (text type and font and color prespecified at the begining) was easy as when ever you define a font it creates a new style and posts the info for you.

The use of hands on examples makes learning how to use this new web design software understandable and easy to design your website the way you want it. A very thorough easy to follow reference manual for Expression Web. The CD of the book and software applications included make this an excellent value.Special Edition Using Microsoft Expression Web
