Microsoft Expression Web developed by Microsoft

Microsoft Expression Web, code-named Quartz, is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and general web design program by Microsoft, replacing Microsoft FrontPage. It is part of the Expression Studio suite. Expression Web allows authoring of web pages integrating XML, CSS 2.1, ASP.NET 2.0, XHTML, XSLT and JavaScript into sites. It requires the .NET Framework 2.0 to operate. Its sibling is Microsoft SharePoint Designer. The second version, Expression Web 2, has full native support for PHP and Silverlight. Editing classic ASP is supported but not on the same page with ASP.NET and there is no classic ASP IntelliSense support. Expression Web uses its own standards-based rendering engine, different from Internet Explorer's Trident engine. Microsoft Expression Web provides the ability to install add-ins from third-party developers, extending the capabilities of Expression Web. On May 14, 2006, Microsoft released the first public preview version of Expression Web on their web site. On Sept 5, 2006, Microsoft released Beta 1. The major changes from CTP 1 are that nearly all of the old FrontPage bots, parts, functions and non-standard features such as themes have been removed. On December 4, 2006 Microsoft
