Whether you're an expert or just getting started, building standards-based Web sites is faster and easier with Microsoft Expression Web 3.
Create compelling Web sites visually
If you think and create visually, use the state-of-the-art design surface to layout your Web page. You can make design decisions on the fly, knowing that you're seeing a faithful representation of the final browser-rendered page.
Drag and drop controls simplify adding rich media, such as Silverlight from Microsoft Expression Blend™, Silverlight video, Adobe Flash, and Windows Media. And advanced Adobe Photoshop file import gives you complete control over imported layers and transparency.
Create standards-based Web sites faster & easier
If you think and breathe code, Expression Web has you covered there too with flexible support for a wide range of essential technologies: PHP, HTML/XHTML, XML/XSLT, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, Flash, Photoshop files, and video/audio for webcasting.
Expression Web speeds the essential task of cross-browser debugging. With SuperPreview, you don’t need a Web service to debug your pages on the same machine that you use for development. SuperPreview not only shows a high-fidelity rendering of how pages will look on different browsers, but it also identifies the element’s tag, size and position, applied styles, and location in the DOM (Document Object Model) tree so you can quickly fix the error.
Once you’ve identified an error, Snapshot Preview helps you fix it faster. By displaying a high-fidelity browser rendering that updates as you edit your code, Snapshot Preview saves you the time and effort of loading the page in a browser for each code change.
Debug Web pages with Snapshot Preview, which shows rendered page changes while you code, and SuperPreview, which displays your page on multiple browsers on your development machine
Quickly see all of the styles, style properties and values, and order of precedence of styles used in the current selection in your Web page
Choose the FTP method for publishing your site, whether FTP, SFTP, or FTPS, depending on what your Web server requires, and do ""live"" on-server edits via FTP
Make your editing and debugging more productive with Intellisense and color-coding for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP; real-time standards validation provides instant feedback
Generate elegant, modern CSS layouts with a state-of-the-art design surface and the ability to directly manipulate positioning, sizing, margins, and padding
Easily add Silverlight, Flash, or Windows Media files with drag-and-drop controls; quickly encode and insert high-quality WMV, VC-1 and H.264 Silverlight video into your Web site
Integrate vector artwork and bitmap images in the same document to create hybrid compositions that you can import in part or in whole into Expression Web
Work with nearly all essential technologies, such as PHP, CSS, HTML/XHTML, XML, XSLT, JavaScript, ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, Windows Media, Adobe Flash, and Photoshop files
If you're a designer or developer, use Expression Web to do what you do best. And if you're part of a diverse team, sharing an Expression Web project has never been easier thanks to seamless integration with Expression Studio and Visual Studio.
