Expression Web builds on and improves the Web authoring technologies of FrontPage, which Microsoft no longer sells but continues to support. Although Expression Web is geared toward professional designers, task panes and menus help beginning users build Web pages without knowing any markup or server code. More advanced creative professionals can build Web sites that fully support Web standards such as Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Expression Web can be used to edit the existing page content of Web sites created in any version of FrontPage. However, FrontPage sites using technologies that have been superseded will have to be adapted to the new technologies.

An example of a new technology is the ASP.NET Web application framework, which is supported by an extensive toolbox in the design interface. Also, ASP.NET pages can be viewed on the design workstation without the need to have a Web server on a separate computer.

Technologies such as PHP and JSP can be used in Expression Web sites, but the application has no tools that specifically support them.

Expression Web supports the accessibility standards of WCAG and Section 508 (29 U.S.C. 794d) and includes built-in accessibility checkers for verifying Web sites against these requirements.

Features:

Under the Software Assurance program, customers acquire the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of their coverage.
Expression Web shares a common project file format with Visual Studio, which enables designers using Expression Web and developers using Visual Studio to open and edit the same projects.
CSS design tools allow direct manipulation of positioning, sizing, margins, and padding. CSS styles developed on the page can be migrated to a central repository.
Typing aids and IntelliSense in the Code View increase the speed and efficiency of the process.
XML files can be dragged and dropped and then immediately rendered by an XSL style sheet so that they can be reformatted to match a Web site's style.
