Microsoft Expression Web - Upgrade package - CD - Win - English

Microsoft® Expression® Web is a professional design tool for designers and developers who build Web sites. With Expression Web, customers can generate elegant cascading style sheet (CSS) page layouts using powerful design tools. Because Expression Web has strong support for Web standards, including XHTML, CSS, XSLT, and XML, Web sites built with it will be compatible across multiple browsers, including Internet Explorer®, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Broad Web-browser compatibility will save designers the time and headaches associated with optimizing their sites for an individual browser.

In addition to excellent CSS support and standards compliance, Expression Web is one of the only Web design tools that fully supports ASP.NET 2.0, integrating ASP.NET 2.0 server and client controls into the design environment. Compatibility with the Microsoft Visual Studio® development system allows customers to work with the same ASP.NET 2.0 sites in both Visual Studio 2005 and Expression Web, greatly improving the design and development experience. If excellent CSS support, standards compliance, ASP.NET 2.0 support, and compatibility with Visual Studio are important features to your customers, Expression Web is the best product for their needs.

Features

Standards-based site design:

design—By building sites according to today’s standards, Expression Web helps designers avoid headaches associated with developing for multiple Web browsers. This means better rendering in browsers, more relevant indexing in search engines, and much more. Expression Web will enhance customers’ productivity by helping them do things right from the start.

Accurate page rendering:

rendering—Accurate page rendering in the design environment gives customers full creative freedom. Expression Web has one of the most accurate rendering engines available today, switching from standard to quirks rendering, depending on whether or not a doctype can be detected. With Expression Web, designs look as good in the browser as they do in the design tool.

Working with XML data is easie:

Customers can drag and drop an XML file, and it is immediately rendered by an XSL style sheet. An XSL style sheet allows customers to tailor the way data is visually presented on their Web site. Now customers can simply include, filter, and sort data from any XML source.

Reporting:

A full suite of reporting across a broad range of technologies means customers can be confident that their sites will be deployed error-free. Expression Web allows customers to easily check CSS use and errors, accessibility against Section 508 and WCAG standards, and compatibility with alternative schemas and Web browsers.

Support for ASP.NET 2.0 controls:

ASP.NET offers a wide variety of controls, from navigation to database integration. ASP.NET controls are configured and rendered in the design surface of Expression Web without the need to resort to coding.

Integrated ASP.NET development server:

The ASP.NET development server launches when it is needed to render ASP.NET pages, without taking up the system resources of a full Web server. Using Expression Web, customers can view ASP.NET pages on their design workstations, easily seeing what the controls will look like when rendered in a browser.

Visual Studio compatibility:

Sites created with Expression Web are fully compatible with Visual Studio. This allows customers to visually design ASP.NET controls in Expression Web and then develop the controls’ behavior in Visual Studio.
