Please note: Unfortunately this competition is only available to UK residents, please accept our apologies if you are outside of the UK.
I use Expression Web as my main editor on my PC for HTML and CSS coding. The interface is clean, intuitive, extremely quick to work with and supports multiple schemas. The particular highlights of Expression Web for myself are the superb FTP manager which allows you to quickly connect to different sites to make edits (very handy for maintaining multiple client websites) and the “Super Preview” which lets you check your website in different web browsers (including multiple versions of Internet Explorer)
If you use a PC to write HTML and CSS code I strongly recommend you download a 60 day trial of Expression Web at http://www.microsoft.com/expression/ and try it out for yourself.

How does Expression Web compare with Dreamweaver or other web editors? How does the graphics program compare with Photoshop?
Hi Clive, thanks for commenting!
I’ve not had very much experience with Dreamweaver (which I know is bizarre for a web designer!)
I’ve been using Expression Web since version 2 and have always got on well with the code editor mainly. The one feature it is lacking that I like in Dreamweaver is the code collapse options. The killer feature for me is the way it handles FTP. Very nice and quick. You can dip in and out of sites quickly which really speeds up my workflow.
I know some designers may be put off by Expression Web and think it is just a newer version of Frontpage but it is totally different and written from the ground up. Produces a much nicer output!
If anything, it is good to have another decent rival for Dreamweaver to help encourage both Microsoft and Adobe to keep improving their software.
I’ve been a Dreamweaver user since it’s days with Macromedia. Until Expression there wasn’t anything to touch it, but now there’s real competition!
I’m very curious about Expression though haven’t yet used it. One of the biggest attractions is the ability to easily compare rendering in different browsers – one of the biggest headaches for designers and developers in my opinion!!
Still, CS5 is promising some good features…let the battle begin!
Thanks for commenting, Steve.
I agree – the more competition there is, the better it will be for the consumers!
I prefer a mix of open source and free tools myself…but thats mostly cos i’m tight! Phil we’ll have to meet up again soon and you can give me a tour of expression and try and convince me!
Notepad all the way yeeeeehaw.
Couldn’t stand working in Notepad! I really need to learn code, I work mostly in WYSIWYG mode, but I did check the validity of my site and it came back with just 1 error.
I must say i’m up for a bit of expression studio. I was given the original by miscrosoft as part of a scheme while I was doing my course so would love to use the new one as I hear there are alot of improvements.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
I have am going to have to download the trail and do a comparison with the adobe range, sounds good, nice to have an option.
Thanks for sharing. A very useful one.
I see Microsoft id trying to combat Adobe. I would love to try out expression studio!
Very nice. I would love to check out an alternative to Komodo Edit that I am using now. Have had my eyes on this for a while but never gotten around to trial it.
Nice contest, nice prizes, nice gesture.
Cheers!
Thank you share this contest

The software is best But can this software is available in free trial version.
I love working with Dreamweaver CS5, but I will try out Expression Studio 3.
Thanks for the 60 day free trial link, I used a similar 30 day free dreamweaver trial and put together a half decent site for practice.
Does anyone know if expression studio 3 is hugely different from dreamweaver cs5?
