Have You Tried Ms Expression Web? It is NOT like frontpage

Recommended Posts

Many folks asking about best html editor available, and I notice nobody seems to know about MS Expression Web. It's very cool at designing standards compliant pages, CSS just drag and drop <divs>, it validates and highlights your errors in code view, etc. It's available as a free 3 month trial for download on Microsoft's website. Yes, I hate frontpage as much as anyone, but I lost my hardrive a few months ago in the middle of designing a site and lost my software, so NVU and Kompozer both act like frontpage putting garbage in your code and I stumbled across this program. It saved me and it works great. It's nothing like frontpage. Check it out.

I am using ms expression web since it came out. and i must say i really like it for fast coding (to code a template).- Its easy to understand- Syntax validation- Easy interfaceYou can code your template in mather of minutes (according to your html knowlage).Also its not required to have alot of knowlage about html, css.All I can say about the program is ..... its really handy.

I'll try this out, but for me it's probably will always be Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver is more powerfull than expression web.
Altough i tried to make me familliar with Dreamweaver it was hard because I am used to notepad (++) and expression web for coding.

I have tried Microsoft's Expression Web. I never liked it. I never liked frontpage either. Sure the interface looked nice and all but it didn't do much to help me. Dreamweaver is better but in terms of price, expression web will probably be pretty good for those that prefer WYSIWYG (I think that's the acronym) editing. I don't like WYSIWYG editing, and so prefer Notepad++. I uninstalled Expression Web just the day after I got it.

I think I'll have to try it out but I have always believed a Microsoft tool is always the wrong tool for any job. The only things that I like from Microsoft are Office and XP SP3.I'm not sure but I think I'll just dump it in a week and go back to the good old Dreamweaver which I rarely use now because of it's limitations in PHP.

but still after having a long experience in Dreamweaver, i have mastered it and i am too lazy to start another software with almost the same things from scratch. but still i will try it.
