Benefits

  • Explore Creative Possibilities. Unleash your creativity and bring your Web sites to life with sophisticated CSS design features including visual designers, specialized task panes, and tool bars that give you precise control of page layout and formatting.
  • Realize Greater Productivity. Reduce complexity and ease integration of data by using powerful task panes and design tools which allow quick incorporation of XML data. Seamlessly integrate Web design and development teams with Expression Web and Microsoft Visual Studio®, by taking advantage of superior support for XML, ASP.NET and XHTML.
  • Deliver Superior Quality. Create dynamic, interactive pages and sites that leverage the power of the Web to deliver compelling user experiences. Easily design to standards and optimize your sites for accessibility and cross-browser compatibility with built-in support and validation for Web standards.

Features

  • Standards-Based Web Sites. Create CSS-based, XHTML 1.0 Transitional–conformant Web sites by default, and work better across browsers, simplifying deployment and maintenance. Configure flexible schema settings to support all combinations of HTML/XHTML/Strict/Transitional/Frameset and CSS 1.0/2.0/2.1 in addition to browser-specific schemas. Validate your site with Compatibility reporting and use the Accessibility report to verify your site against Section 508 and W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
  • Sophisticated CSS-Based Layout. Generate elegant, modern CSS page layouts using powerful design surface tools with direct manipulation of positioning, sizing, margins, and padding. Use the Style Application and Positioning toolbars for precise control over how and where CSS styles are generated, and the Style Builder for comprehensive style design and efficient style editing.
  • Extensive CSS Formatting. Produce, manage, apply, and reuse CSS formatting using deep support throughout the product, ranging from high-quality CSS rendering in the design surface to IntelliSense® and typing aids in the code view. Management tools put the user in full control of how styles are created, stored, and deployed.
  • Rich Data Presentation. Build and format views on industry-standard XML data using powerful, WYSIWYG XSLT design tools. Create views efficiently with drag/drop from the Data View task pane and construct complex XPath queries and compound fields with the XPath Expression builder. Use the comprehensive CSS feature set to apply visual formatting to data views that is consistent with the rest of your site.
  • Powerful Server Technology. Take full advantage of the power of ASP.NET 2.0 with integrated support for server and user controls, and no code data binding, to transform your sites into dynamic, interactive Web applications. Use the controls toolbox, properties grid, and on-control “action menus” to quickly insert and configure ASP.NET controls. Write ASP.NET markup quickly with IntelliSense and tag completion in the integrated design and code surface, and update your sites more efficiently with the control of ASP.NET Master Pages.
