Guide Review - Expression Web version 1 - Web Editing Software Customer Review

Customer Review

I have been using Homesite as my primary html editor. I often used FrontPage when I wanted a WYSIWYG editor but I was intiminated by all the extra code that it added, which made it difficult for me to tweak the html. It also created web sites that were not compatible with all the browsers. I upgraded to Expression Web because I liked the idea that it created html that was compliant with the web standards. Now I am able to create web pages that download fast. The code is simple enough for me to work in html if I want.

I especially like Expression Web's ability to convert text files, rtf files and doc files to html.
