Customer Reviews

Too many bugs!!!

Review by B. Gregory, 2010-01-19

The program is buggy!!! I have sites that I created using Frontpage 2002 which is also buggy. But I did like it until the last 2 years.

Both programs screw up my websites when I save them. They put in multiple tags so I get 8 titles on my website. Often it puts the page info into the sidebar so I loose that data.

Expression Web is supposed to automatically check to match up files. This is a bug that I have found written about on several websites. Microsoft Expression Web 2 Upgrade [OLD VERSION]

No Photo Templates?

Review by Sam Fuchs, 2009-09-02

I am dissapointed that Expressions has templates but not photography templates to work with. And creating your own photo site restricts you to having to open the photo in EXPLORER with no ability to control the window size or placement! What a stupid option!
I might as well used a free web software.

Excellent product

Review by G. Defenbaugh, 2009-07-04

Historically I've maintained my own websites the manly way: writing HTML with a text editor. But it's way too complicated to do that now, and I needed something that would help me with all the new features and capabilities. Expression Web 2 does just that. I'm a retired professional IT guy, but not a web or graphics expert. This product works perfect for me.

Great Web IDE!!

Review by A. Swanson, 2009-06-26

Up till now, every site I've worked on or created has been done with a simple editor and browser. I've also used some packages for my ecommerce forays, like osCommerce and ZenCart. However, this is the first IDE I've used for web development.

My last programming gig was almost six years ago, so picking EW2 up was a bit of a challenge, but nothing too overwhelming. I love the application, but you should be aware that without a bigger monitor, it will be hard to use. You could close all the palettes, but that kinda defeats the idea of an IDE, ya know?

If you own Office 2007 or a number of other web design software packages, you can pick up the upgrade version of this for about 25-30% of the purchase price of this product. Well worth it, it my book.

another microsoft boondogle

Review by ken, 2009-06-24

After using an older version of front page for many years i finally got the company to spring for this "upgrade". well it is not much of one. I'm very tech savvy but the software is counterintuitive. some things just don't work how you would think. for instance. front page understood that web viewers would be browsing from the web (duh)... and pathed everything automatically that way. Expression pathes it from where I am. So I'm developing live from the secure side of a firewall and it wants to auto-path everything so that viewers have to seek from my side of the wall (absurd). Of course this is likely a configuration thing but the documentation sucks. so i fire up the training disk and it won't run because it wants and autoloads Silverlight but only version 1 will run the training disk and only v 2 is available. of course!!! uninstalling v 2 and installing (if you can find it) v 1 doesn't work. So forget the training disk.
So looks like this software has some new useful features like that (only) if you can find the information to understand how it works or have time to take a week for trial and error. I suggest that you buy the last version of front page for 1/2 the money and save aggravation.
