Product DescriptionEnter a new era in Web design. Expression Web 2
gives you all the tools you need to produce high-quality, standards-based Web
sites.
Deliver standards-based sites, by default
Microsoft Expression Web
2 builds sites according to today's standards, including XHTML, CSS, XML, and
XSLT. For Web designers, that means better rendering in browsers, more relevant
indexing in search engines, enhanced productivity, and more.
Give your creativity new legs
Today's sites use cascading style
sheets to separate design from content. The design-focused tools in Expression
Web 2 simplify this complex technology and put you in complete control. From
visual drag-and-drop margin and padding control to a visual hierarchy of style
applications, it's easy to take charge of your design.
What you see is what they get
Accurate page rendering in the design
environment gives you full creative freedom. Expression Web 2 switches from
standards to quirks rendering, depending on the doctype in use. You'll have
confidence that your designs will translate perfectly from your design tool to
the browser.
Present XML data your way
Working visually with XML data has never
been easier. Drag and drop an XML file and watch as it's immediately rendered by
an XSL stylesheet that can be reformatted to match any site's style. Now you can
easily include, filter, and sort data from any XML source.
Do more with your sites
Expression Web 2 combines the power of
design and development with Microsoft Visual Studio compatibility and support
