Microsoft Expression 2 Features

Microsoft Expression Web (EW) is the tool that has replaced FrontPage as Microsoft's web design tool. Microsoft Expression Web is a proficient design tool to create contemporary, standards-based websites that not only deliver superior quality but also encourages creativity.

Microsoft Expression Web is a ’WYSIWYG’ HTML editor as well as a graphical web design program by Microsoft that has today replaced the legacy program Microsoft FrontPage. Expression Web is a part of the Expression Studio suite.

Expression Web provides support for integrating XML, XHTML, XSLT, CSS 2.1, ASP.NET 2.0 and other standard Web technologies into the websites.

Creating websites that conform to the internationally recognized standards was never felt that important over the past. But over the last year the term Web 2.0 has come to represent the new era of Web Technologies offered to designers, developers and web designers. This new age is built on standards. Expression Web contains all the tools you need to achieve that endeavor. There are design standards, such as Cascading Style Sheets; metadata standards; data transfer standards, such; and accessibility standards for visually impaired. XHTML builds upon HTML standards to provide the mechanism that allows browsers to properly encode and display your web pages. Expression® Web can write fully compliant XHTML code. Design tools for the Web artist are needed to support these standards.
