Expression Blend 3 Top Features
- Silverlight & .NET - Fully leverage the underlying platforms, Silverlight for cross browser, cross platform deployment and WPF for the ultimate Windows client experience.
- Utilize your design assets - Extensive and flexible capabilities allow you to import Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator files, ensuring a smooth transition of visual design assets from traditional workflows.
- Behaviors - Bring a project to life by adding interactivity, animation and transitions using Behaviors, powerful building blocks of interactivity, without writing code.
Expression Blend 3 enables your ideas from concept to completion.
Expression Blend 3 revolutionizes the speed and efficiency with which you can take your ideas from concept to completion on the Silverlight and .NET platforms. Concepts and ideas can live through the project end-to-end, reducing redundancy, enhancing creativity and delivering compelling desktop and/or rich internet applications that exceed your client’s expectations for design, interactivity and usability.
Compelling Experiences
Expression Blend 3 enables you to iterate and deliver on your ideas faster, creating powerful and refined solutions without compromise for the desktop and the web for your clients. Sketchflow revolutionizes the speed and efficiency you can demonstrate a vision for an application while Behaviors bring an application to life, adding interactivity, animation and transitions without writing code.
Accelerated Results
Expression Blend breaks down the barriers between design and development that have historically slowed the development process to maximize the opportunities for synergy between design and development.
Sample data can be imported or created on the fly, robust code editing with XAML editor, C# and VB Intellisense as well as an improved workspace and design surface all enhance the speed and flexibility that ideas can be moved from concept to production.
Powerful Technology
Using Expression Blend and industry standard .NET technologies such as Silverlight, WPF, XAML, C#, VB, developers can deliver desktop and/or rich internet applications that are stable, scalable, accessible, reliable and secure.
The rapid end-to-end workflow available through Expression Blend, Visual Studio and the Microsoft platform enables the delivery of compelling results to your customers time after time, while still maximizing the investments you’ve already made in other tools and technologies you employ today.
Expression® Web 3 Top Features
- Professional Design Surface - Generate elegant, modern CSS layouts with a state-of-the-art design surface.
- Visual Diagnostics - Compare your pages in multiple browsers on your development PC with SuperPreview.
- Rich Content - Easily add Silverlight, Flash, Deep Zoom or Windows Media files with drag-and-drop controls.
Deliver visually compelling, standards-compliant Web experiences with Expression Web 3
Whether you're an expert or just getting started, building standards-based Web sites is faster and easier with Microsoft Expression Web 3.
Create compelling Web sites visually
If you think and create visually, use the state-of-the-art design surface to layout your Web page. You can make design decisions on the fly, knowing that you're seeing a faithful representation of the final browser-rendered page.
Drag and drop controls simplify adding rich media, such as Silverlight from Microsoft Expression Blend, Silverlight video, Adobe Flash, and Windows Media. And advanced Adobe Photoshop file import gives you complete control over imported layers and transparency.
Create standards-based Web sites more quickly and easily
If you think and breathe code, Expression Web has you covered there too with flexible support for a wide range of essential technologies: PHP, HTML/XHTML, XML/XSLT, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, Flash, Photoshop files, and video/audio for webcasting.
Expression Web speeds the essential task of cross-browser debugging. With SuperPreview, you don’t need a Web service to debug your pages on the same machine that you use for development. SuperPreview not only shows a high-fidelity rendering of how pages will look on different browsers, but it also identifies the element’s tag, size and position, applied styles, and location in the DOM (Document Object Model) tree so you can quickly fix the error.
Once you’ve identified an error, Snapshot Preview helps you fix it faster. By displaying a high-fidelity browser rendering that updates as you edit your code, Snapshot Preview saves you the time and effort of loading the page in a browser for each code change.
If you're a designer or developer, use Expression Web to do what you do best. And if you're part of a diverse team, sharing an Expression Web project has never been easier thanks to seamless integration with Expression Studio and Visual Studio.
