New Microsoft web site design tool – Expression Web Designer

Microsoft is launching a number of products over the next two years, which means a number of products coming into beta. Many of these cans be used by skilled small business IT consultants to build better solutions for customers.

 

One such tool is the Expression Web Designer. It is designed to be highly accurate to online standards, ensuring greater compliance with a variety of browsers. It also makes extensive use of CSS to ensure a greater standard across sites. Finally, providing access to data and enabling data manipulation tasks through the browser is a key capability.

 

To see more and downloads the product, go to http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/default.mspx and watch the videos and start playing today.

I've been trying Expression Web Designer for a littel while now and I quite like it. It seems familiar because it's quite similar to FrontPage so it's quite easy to learn to use. I like the way it understands ASP.Net controls, for example. Another feature I like is the way it will label all the HTML elements with little tags in design view (I believe the rendering engine does not rely on I.E. but has been built from the ground up to support this sort of thing). I can't get it to open any of my SharePoint sites though. Is this feature missing from the beta?
