Summary: Wish I had spent the money first elsewhere and saved it here
Comment: I spent the money and I am not stupid but this I was not able to master so I paid a professional. Doesn't mean I won't continue trying but not friendly like I thought.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I hate it.
Comment: I've been publishing websites since 1998, first using FrontPage1998, then switching to Yahoo's SiteBuilder. I bought Expression, feeling like I needed to step up to "standards-based" web design tool.
After three weeks of work, including studying "Expression Web for Dummies" and "Using Microsoft Expression Web," I am NO closer to figuring out how to put up a decent looking web page. The tutorial CD that came with the package didn't work either, which should have been a clue.
I have had no luck figuring out how to "float divs," or get CSS to lay out in columns, or any such things. The stuff I have been able to do is no more than I would have been able to do it SiteBuilder, which is free.
I loved the old FrontPage because it was intuitive. You didn't have to dig and dig and risk spraining your brain to figure it out. SiteBuilder is a solid tool, though. If I could get my money back from this, I would.
What a disappointment!
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is idiot proof
Comment: Hey, I test ran all the products, free and otherwise by downloading the full trial versions. Keep in mind, I have been limping along using Microsoft Publisher 2000 to create and maintain my website, seriously, this should tell you what a complete novice I am!! After attempting to use Adobe's Dreamweaver, and then using this product, I have to admit, this product is pretty much idiot proof. I still know nothing about html, or any other thing on this product as of yet (I have not even watched the tutorial video that came with it yet), and I have created a new website design from scratch for my site. This is definately worth the money. I have spent 7 years using Publisher 2000, so I figure for the money I spent on this, if I get that kind of longevity out of this product, it is money well spent.

Summary: What a step down from Frontpage!
Comment: I'm very disappointed in the new Expression Web from Microsoft. I've been using it for several months now, and thought I needed a book because I was having trouble finding things (like the list of templates Front Page provided). It turns out that they were never there in the first place! This program has less than Front Page (its predecessor) and is much more complex to use. I might as well get with the professional web designers and switch to Dream Weaver. Boooooooo Microsoft!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too Professional!
Comment: I have used Microsoft Frontpage for a number of years. Basically to produce simple websites for local Schools or Societies that felt they needed a web presence. The major convienience of FrontPage was its simplicity and usefull design templates, essentially using FrontPage was like using a wordprocessor. When this came out as an upgrade to FrontPage I bought it. The problem is this is too professional, essentially it functions like Dreamweaver. If you want to make professional websites for a living fine. However, if all you want to do is produce a simple information providing website, without all the Javascript bits and bobs, then stick with FrontPage.

Microsoft Expression Web helps you to reduce complexity and ease data integration by using powerful design tools and task panes to quickly incorporate XML data. You can seamlessly integrate Web design and development teams with Expression Web and Visual Studio's superior support for XML, ASP.NET and XHTML. The software is also designed to help you unleash your creative ideas and bring your Web sites to life with sophisticated CSS design features. Visual designers, specialized task panes, and tool bars give you precise control of page layout and formatting. These superior tools will let you build dynamic, interactive pages that harness the power of the Web, and the built-in support for today's modern Web standards means that it's easier than ever to optimize your sites for accessibility and cross-browser compatibility. This all translates to superior performance with the same Microsoft passion about delivering the highest quality and standards possible. Standards-Based Web Sites
With Expressions Web, you can create CSS-based, XHTML 1.0 Transitional-conforming Web sites by default. This means that you creations will work better across browsers, simplifying deployment and maintenance. You'll be able to configure flexible schema settings to support all combinations of HTML, XHTML, Strict, Transitional, Frameset and CSS 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1 plus browser-specific schemas, and validate your site with compatibility and accessibility reporting and against Section 508 and W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Generating elegant, modern CSS layouts with state-of-the-art surface design tools has never been easier. A sophisticated CSS rendering engine inside gives you the confidence to make design decisions on the fly, and you can even try out CSS styles on the page with drag-and-drop style management and migrate them to a central repository. Typing aids and IntelliSense in the Code View make your process extremely efficient and fast. Rich Data Presentation and Powerful Server Technology
Using drag-and drop tools for quick visualization, you can build and format views of industry-standard XML data. An XPath Expression Builder allows you to create complex queries, and XSL Transform (XSLT) support gives you the flexibility to present data any way you want. The software can also help you retrieve and present XML data via live RSS feeds that match your site's formatting. Expressions Web harnesses the power of ASP.NET 2. to transform your sites into dynamic, interactive Web applications. No code data binding is required with the application's integrated support for server and user controls. Expressions Web also makes inserting and configuring ASP.NET controls a snap with the controls toolbox, properties grid, and on-control "action menus," while the ASP.NET Master Pages make site-wide changes quick and easy.
