MS Expression Web
Today I started to work on my mother-in-law's web site. She opening a bed & breakfast, and two home cooked meals make me the web master :-). Of course the site name is registered with DirectNic.com, as all my sites are.
For the first time I'm using Microsoft Expression Web, a new product from Microsoft currently in beta and freely downloadable here. Expression Web succeeds Frontpage, but doesn't use any Frontpage server-side technologies and is (at first look) completely standards based. It heavily uses style sheets and has a standards compliance checker. It also integrates the standard ASP.NET components. On the site you will find tutorials, video's and two free virtual labs all for free. And I found already a web site out there where you can buy Expression-compatible templates, called ExpressionGraphics.net .
I've only played with the tool for some hours, but so far, I like it. Whether or not I'll use it for about2findout will depend on my experience and it's retail price once public I guess.
