Microsoft Expression Web page editor

PC Magazine gave Microsoft Expression Web page editor a pretty good review. The software just finished a long public beta testing, and the final version of the new web editing package is finally available.

Expression Web is the first up-to-date web page editor that creates modern CSS and XML based web pages out of the box. It replaces the familiar FrontPage web page editor, the last version was 2003, and is no longer supported by Microsoft. It does keep some of the best features of FP, like a similar menu structure and the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) design views. It's standards-based approach supports CSS, RSS, and point-and-click control over XML data sources.

I started searching for a full version of Microsoft's Expression Web editor to install after the beta expired in December, but it was virtually unavailable until now. I've been a long time FrontPage user, starting in '98, but it's been such an ordeal using and troubleshooting this program, then getting used to the beta and having it time out on me and disable itself, that I'm considering switching to DreamWeaver.

Both web editor packages have several versions that are bundled with other nifty applications that enhance your web building experience, so shop around if you're in the market for a cool web page building program. Expression Web will also be available in these different flavors: Expression Blend, Expression Design & Expression Media.
