Product DescriptionThe Microsoft Expression suite of professional
design tools and innovative technologies will take your creative possibilities
to a new level. Whether you are designing standards-based Web sites, rich user
experiences on the desktop, or managing digital assets and content, Microsoft
Expression applications will help. Microsoft Expression Web is a professional
design tool to create modern, standards-based sites that deliver superior
quality on the Web.
New Era, New Tool
Microsoft Expression Web helps you to reduce
complexity and ease data integration by using powerful design tools and task
panes to quickly incorporate XML data. You can seamlessly integrate Web design
and development teams with Expression Web and Visual Studio's superior support
for XML, ASP.NET and XHTML. The software is also designed to help you unleash
your creative ideas and bring your Web sites to life with sophisticated CSS
design features. Visual designers, specialized task panes, and tool bars give
you precise control of page layout and formatting. These superior tools will let
you build dynamic, interactive pages that harness the power of the Web, and the
built-in support for today's modern Web standards means that it's easier than
ever to optimize your sites for accessibility and cross-browser compatibility.
This all translates to superior performance with the same Microsoft passion
about delivering the highest quality and standards possible.
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).
Generating elegant, modern CSS layouts with state-of-the-art surface design
tools has never been easier. 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.
Rich Data Presentation and Powerful Server Technology
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.
Expressions Web harnesses the power of ASP.NET 2. to transform your sites
into dynamic, interactive Web applications. No code data binding is required
with the application's integrated support for server and user controls.
Expressions Web also makes inserting and configuring ASP.NET controls a snap
with the controls toolbox, properties grid, and on-control "action menus," while
the ASP.NET Master Pages make site-wide changes quick and easy.
