Expression Web is a new site-development tool, recently released by Microsoft as a replacement for its FrontPage 2003. Expression Web is part of Expression Studio (Suite) which also includes Expression Blend, Expression Design, and Expression Media. - Expression Web is a professional design tool to create modern standards - based sites (XHTML, CSS, Microsoft.Net, ASP.Net, RSS) which deliver superior quality on the web.
- Expression Blend is the professional design tool to create engaging Web connected user experiences for windows (Microsoft's answer to Flash?)
- Expression Design is a professional illustration and graphic design tool that let's you build compelling elements for both web and desktop applications user interface.
- Expression Media is a professional asset management tool to visually catalog and organize all your digital assets for effortless retrieval and presentation.
Why is Microsoft discontinuing FrontPage 2003? Why doesn't it simply call its new program something like FrontPage 2007? Expression Web's senior program manager, Wayne Smith, explained that his team's new HTML tool was "rewritten from the ground up" and is not merely a refresh of the old FrontPage 2003 code.
Expression Web does, in fact, share much of the FP03 look and feel. Some of the dialog boxes in Expression Web, for example, are indistinguishable from those that perform the same functions in Microsoft's older HTML editor.
Expression Web is being positioned as a tool for serious, professional Web developers, especially those who are already versed in the ways of ASP.NET 2.0. These developers will find task panes that facilitate ASP.NET usage and excellent round-trip compatibility for code that is edited in Microsoft's Visual Studio by programmers and in Expression Web by graphic designers.
