Microsoft Expression Web Upgrade Full Version Retail Box

Upgrades from:

• Microsoft FrontPage (all versions)

Expression Web is a new professional design tool to create modern, standards-based sites which deliver superior quality on the Web. This is Microsoft's next-generation web authoring program. If you use SharePoint, consider purchasing Microsoft SharePoint Designer instead, a program with similar functionality. Microsoft FrontPage is no longer available. See the details here.

Reduce complexity and ease data integration by using powerful design tools and task panes to quickly incorporate XML data. Seamlessly integrate Web design and development teams with Expression Web and Visual Studio’s superior support for XML, ASP.NET and XHTML. 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. Built-in support for today’s modern Web standards makes it easy to optimize your sites for accessibility and cross-browser compatibility.
 

Features:

• 
  Standards-based Web Sites
  Create CSS-based, XHTML 1.0 Transitional-conforming Web sites by default. 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, and 2.1 plus browser-specific schemas. Validate your site with compatibility and accessibility reporting and against Section 508 and W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
   
• 
  CSS Based Layout
  Generate elegant, modern CSS layouts with state-of-the-art surface design tools. Directly manipulate positioning, sizing, margins and padding. A sophisticated CSS rendering engine inside gives you the confidence to make design decisions on the fly. 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 efficient and fast.
   
• 
  Rich Data Presentation
  Build and format views of industry-standard XML data using drag-and drop tools for quick visualization. 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. XML data can be retrieved and presented via live RSS feeds that match your site’s formatting.
   
• 
  Powerful Server Technology
  Harness the power of ASP.NET 2.0 to transform your sites into dynamic, interactive Web applications. No code data binding required with integrated support for server and user controls. Inserting and configuring ASP.NET controls is a snap with the controls toolbox, properties grid, and on-control “action menus”. ASP.NET Master Pages make site-wide changes quick and easy.
