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.

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.

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.
