Microsoft Expression Web 2

A quick look: Expression Web 2 is a professional web design tool and HTML editor.

Expression Web 2 is a new professional design tool to create modern, standards-based sites which deliver superior quality on the Web. Expression Web 2 gives you all the tools you need to produce high-quality, standards-based Web sites. Microsoft Expression Web 2 builds sites according to today's standards, including XHTML, CSS, XML, and XSLT. For Web designers, that means better rendering in browsers, more relevant indexing in search engines, enhanced productivity, and more. 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.

• Give your creativity new legs
  Today's sites use cascading style sheets to separate design from content. The design-focused tools in Expression Web 2 simplify this complex technology and put you in complete control. From visual drag-and-drop margin and padding control to a visual hierarchy of style applications, it's easy to take charge of your design.
   
• What you see is what they get
  Accurate page rendering in the design environment gives you full creative freedom. Expression Web 2 switches from standards to quirks rendering, depending on the doctype in use. You'll have confidence that your designs will translate perfectly from your design tool to the browser.
   
• Present XML data your way
  Working visually with XML data has never been easier. Drag and drop an XML file and watch as it's immediately rendered by an XSL stylesheet that can be reformatted to match any site's style. Now you can easily include, filter, and sort data from any XML source.
