Whether you're an expert or just getting started, building
standards-based Web sites is faster and easier with Microsoft
Expression Web 3.

Create compelling Web sites visually

If you think and create visually, use the state-of-the-art design surface
to layout your Web page. You can make design decisions on the fly, knowing
that you're seeing a faithful representation of the final browser-rendered
page.

Drag and drop controls simplify adding rich media, such as Silverlight
from Microsoft Expression Blend, Silverlight video, Adobe Flash, and Windows
Media. And advanced Adobe Photoshop file import gives you complete control
over imported layers and transparency.

Create standards-based Web sites more quickly and easily

If you think and breathe code, Expression Web has you covered there too
with flexible support for a wide range of essential technologies: PHP,
HTML/XHTML, XML/XSLT, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX,
Silverlight, Flash, Photoshop files, and video/audio for webcasting.

Expression Web speeds the essential task of cross-browser debugging. With
SuperPreview, you don't need a Web service to debug your pages on the same
machine that you use for development. SuperPreview not only shows a
high-fidelity rendering of how pages will look on different browsers, but it
also identifies the element's tag, size and position, applied styles, and
location in the DOM (Document Object Model) tree so you can quickly fix the
error.

Once you've identified an error, Snapshot Preview helps you fix it
faster. By displaying a high-fidelity browser rendering that updates as you
edit your code, Snapshot Preview saves you the time and effort of loading
the page in a browser for each code change.

If you're a designer or developer, use Expression Web to do what you do
best. And if you're part of a diverse team, sharing an Expression Web
project has never been easier thanks to seamless integration with Expression
Studio and Visual Studio.

Expression Web 3 also includes the following full applications:

Microsoft Expression Design 3 is the perfect companion

video file formats so you can stream live video from webcams and camcorders
