I was desperate to finish a site I was designing after I lost my hard drive and my software. I downloaded Expression Web from the Microsoft site for a 3 month free trial, and guess what? It's surprisingly good! Nothing like that crappy frontpage, it's standards compliant and very good for writing CSS. Haven't heard anybody mention the program and wondering if anybody else has tried it out. It's free to try from the MS site.

i also test drove Ms Expression Web Html Editor but it takes much space and memory..
i suggest you try the adobe dreamweaver cs3 trial..it's got more features like wysiwyg,code and split editor screens..
it also supports many formats like css, php, html, asp and connecting to database it very easy

Expression web is good if you want to build a website fast with html, css. And it is also easy to use.
If you want to build more complicated websites then I would use dreamweaver, but if you are new to dreamweaver
it takes alot of time to understand the interface, but when you get it, you will build complicated websites in no time.

But .... Notepad is the best editor of ALL

I've tried Expression Web and find it very easy to use. Lots of features available and the coding is so much better than FrontPage ever was and is now fully compliant.

PHP has been added in the new version 2.0 and Ihave no idead why Microsft didn't include this in the original release.

Overall, it's a nice piece of software.
