Microsoft Unveils Next Generation of Web Authoring and Design Tools
Microsoft Expression Web Designer is one such tool.With extensive customization features, the idea is also to offer good support for open Web standards.This offers web masters with a
powerful and verstile tool to accomplish their goal of building good web-sites.
The Microsoft Expression Web Designer is the next-generation tool for designing dynamic, standard-based Web-sites, so as to deliver a complete set of tools for Web design and development.The Microsoft Expression Web Designer is partially based on Microsoft Office FrontPage technologies The pricing and availability details for this new tool is yet to be announced.
Elaborating on Expression Web Designer, John Richards, director of Windows SharePoint Services at Microsoft says "Expression Web Designer is focused on the needs of professional Web designers seeking to build high-quality, standards-based Web sites for companies. It provides exceptional support for integrating XML, CSS, ASP.NET 2.0, XHTML and other standard Web technologies into sites to make them more dynamic, interactive and accessible. Teams of designers using Expression Web Designer and developers using Microsoft Visual Studio will benefit from numerous integrated features that allow them to collaborate on the design and development of content and applications.Microsoft is now truly able to deliver a comprehensive family of Web authoring products for the diverse needs of our existing Microsoft Office FrontPage customers."
In answer to a question about what would happen to the current FrontPage product and what efforts were being taken to address the concerns of FrontPage users about migration and ongoing technical support,John Richards has said that FrontPage will be discontinued gradually, after the full release of Sharepoint Designer 2007 and Expression Web Designer.
He has assured that this process would bring customers and partners a broader choice of tools that wopuld go far beyond the capabilities within the current FrontPage product to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s Web authors, designers and developers.
He also added that in the meantime,Microsoft would continue to provide current FrontPage customers with full product support through June 2008, as well as clear guidance on how they could smoothly migrate to SharePoint Designer 2007 or Expression Web Designer, depending on their roles and needs. In the near future, all registered Microsoft Office FrontPage customers would receive e-mail from Microsoft outlining Microsoft's overall strategy and roadmap for these next-generation Web authoring tools.
In addition to this he said that continual updates on the Microsoft Office product Web site would be provided and current FrontPage customers in both the retail and enterprise channels would be able to take advantage of special upgrade offers starting in the second half of 2006.
