1. Three professional applications for one low price
Expression Studio 4 Web Professional includes a complete set of professional design and development tools for creating modern standards-based Web sites, streaming video, and Web graphics. It includes three professional applications that work together: Expression Web, Expression Encoder, and Expression Design - all for one great price!
2. Create Professional Graphics for Your Site
Powerful vector drawing and editing tools in the included copy of Expression Design let you explore new artistic possibilities and create compelling graphic designs and illustrations. Integrate vector artwork and bitmap images in the same document to create hybrid compositions that you can import in part or in whole into Expression Web. Use Expression Design's sophisticated slicing capabilities to create web-ready graphics.
3. Encode Silverlight video for Web streaming
Quickly encode and insert high-quality WMV, VC-1 and H.264 Silverlight video into your Web site with a wide range of encoding and transcoding features in the included copy of Expression Encoder.
4. Broad support for Industry-Standard Technologies
With support for a broad range of scripting and server-side technologies, Expression Web provides the flexibility you need. Expression Web supports PHP, HTML/XHTML, XML/XSLT, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET or ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, Flash, Windows Media, and Photoshop, as well as interoperability with Microsoft Visual Studio and Expression Studio.
5. Broad Web Standards Support
Built-in support for today's modern Web standards makes it easy to optimize your sites for accessibility and cross-browser compatibility. Choose any schema you want HTML, XHTML, Strict/Transitional/Frameset and CSS 1.0, 2.0, or 2.1; Expression Web will help you build appropriate code with a compatibility checker that highlights non-conforming elements.
6. Build Dynamic Interactive Sites
Whether you’re building a site rich with video, audio, or animation, Expression Web makes it easy. You can easily add Silverlight, Flash, DeepZoom or Windows Media files with drag-and-drop controls.
7. SEO Reporting
Expression Web gives you the information to improve your Web site’s relevance in search results by recommending how to make the site content more search engine-friendly.
8. Create Expression Web add-ins
Now you can extend Expression Web’s functionality with HTML and JavaScript. Add panels, menu commands, and tools to the toolbox. And share your add-ins with the Expression Community.
9. Publishing Flexibility
Choose the FTP method for publishing your site, whether FTP, SFTP, or FTPS, depending on what your Web server requires. Also, Expression Web can do “live” on-server edits via FTP, which saves time and cost, while also reducing errors.
10. Import Photoshop files
Expression Web can import Photoshop files directly with complete control over the layers imported and the converted image format (PNG, GIF, and JPEG). Expression Web remembers your layer and format settings so that you can quickly reimport to reflect any changes to the Photoshop original.
