Resources To Enhance Your Learning
Expression Web 2 includes several resources to help users get started with the application, including:
a two hour "getting started" training video from Total Training, a printed Getting Started and online help and tutorials.
Professional Design EnvironmentGet more done with software that works the way you do. With task panes and menus just where you need them, you're free to concentrate on design. Import Adobe Photoshop files to create your website graphics. 
Standards Based Site DesignReach for a tool that's been built with today's modern standards in mind, and see results in better browser rendering and more relevant search engine indexing. Expression Web builds sites to XHTML, CSS, XML, and XSLT, making sure your pages are compliant throughout the design process. 
Expression Web 2 Features:
CSS LayoutSeparate design from content with Cascading Style Sheets-the complex technology that's behind today's modern sites. Expression Web's design-focused tools show you a visual hierarchy of styles, give you drag-and-drop control of margins, and offer many other ways to make working with CSS easy. 
CSS Site TemplatesJump right in with Expression Web's professionally designed, standards-compliant site templates in a broad range of categories. Or make your own CSS designs from a host of DIV-based layouts.
CSS Style ApplicationChoose between automatically generated CSS styles or generate them manually for absolute control over the type of rule created and its precise location. The choice is yours.
CSS ManagementGet a visual overview of where CSS rules are created, where they're located, and their application order with Expression Web's industry-leading CSS management tools. It's never been easier to manage complex CSS in a site.
Property Task PaneSee at a glance the full range of CSS and tag attributes available to you from either of the property task panes. You can reorder the list to find just what you need, or get a summary of "in use” CSS properties for fast reference.
Rich Data PresentationShow that XML data who's master! Simply drag and drop an XML file and it's immediately rendered by an XSL stylesheet that you can reformat to match your site's style. Now you can include, filter and sort and style data from any XML source easily.
ASP.NET 3.5Harness the power of ASP.NET with a wide variety of controls, including navigation, calendars, logins and database integration. No coding is needed, as they're all rendered within the design surface.
