Summary: Just don't get it
Comment: I purchase this after using Frontpage 2003 for what seems forever! I've gotten good use out of FP, and it has more than paid for itself. But I'm just not sure what to make of Expression Web. I installed it, tried out some of the learning tools, but it just didn't click. I currently use a program that costs me 1/3 the price and has all the features of Expression Web. I also continue to use FP for basic stuff, especially when I need straight HTML programming.
I've gone to MS website and read some of the tutorials, checked out their forum, etc. But it seems as if MS wants me to buy all these add-on's (like Adobe does) to get the program to do what it should already do. Personally, I think I wasted my money on this, and sorry I purchased it.

Summary: Great Program!
Comment: When I first received Expression Web, I was nervous about using this program. I have only used Microsoft FrontPage in the past & my experience with web design is really very limited. It took me a few weeks to learn how to use Expression Web, but now I love it!! If you are just getting started I recommend purchasing Expression Web plain & simple and watching as many videos from the Expression Web web site as possible. Check out my web site I created at [...]. I did end up upgrading to Expression Studio & I like working with Expression Design.

Summary: Awesome! For a 1.0 version product, this beats FrontPage!
Comment: I am very, very happy with Expression Web.
FrontPage is dead. And Expression Web must have been produced by a third party vendor. . .I can't believe Microsoft can publish something this good. It actually teaches how to develop and use CSS web pages.
Plus, it has asp and asp.net with database linking capabilities (which are just ahead in my learning curve).
Best of all, it came with training video produced by Total Training.
The training video is probably a fifty dollar value and really gets you up and running. You will never use FrontPage again.
After using Expression Web for several months, I uninstalled Dreamweaver which was just taking up hard disk space.
Expression Web is a version 1.0 product. I don't have any complaints about it and am still learning it. Recommendation: STRONG BUY

Summary: Microsoft Expression Web
Comment: Another Microsoft Disappointment. After using this program exclusively for the past 8 or 9 months I've gone back to the previous version, Microsoft Front Page 2003.
I love the fact that Expression Web allows one to work on CSS within the program. The split screen is a real plus, allowing the user to view both the design view and code view at once.
Expression Web does not publish properly and never has...publishing errors are the norm.
Expression Web does not handle included pages properly, and this is a critical area for most Microsoft Front Page users; the user must use an add-on program to handle included pages now.
It is difficult, at best, to locate things that were used constantly in previous versions of Front Page.
Even after numerous updates, Expression Web still seems to be unstable, which is typical of Microsoft products in general. There are so many fixes to download for all Microsoft products one must wonder how they came to be available to the public in the first place.

Summary: Powerful, If a Little Complicated
Comment: Having come from Front Page 2000, I was a bit overwhelmed at how complex this program can be if you don't have any other web authoring training (like me). But it came with a "Total Training" DVD that helped quite a bit. And after I found a website called "Expression Web Help," and went through their tutorials, I was really pleased with how flexible and powerful this program is. I can finally make professional looking websites instead of the old ones that scream "I made this with Front Page!"
