Microsoft Expression Web 4 Expression Web was a free tool previously created, maintained and distributed by Microsoft. Microsoft no longer supports or maintains Microsoft Expression however it is still available and works perfectly well on Windows 10.

Each of these Expression Web templates is css based using no tables for layout. These EW templates are written with an XHTML transitional doctype and have an external stylesheet. You are welcome to use them as a basis for site layout. Changes to colors, font families, font sizes and such should be made within the external stylesheet. The masthead is a graphic image. Depending on MY time constraints, I will be happy to add a site title for you. The templates are in the form of a personal web package, which includes the DWT, and all supporting files, folders and graphics. The images in the content area are strictly to show you how they would look when a 1px black border and/or drop shadow is added.

The Expression Web template layouts are based on an original layout created at my favorite site Inknoise Layout-o-Matic, which unfortunately is no longer functioning. Some of the layouts are based on those available from Eric Meyer's CSS Sculptor for Expression Web. I use thisColor Palette Creator to come up with the colors I use.

Clicking on the link under the template will take you to the full size template where you can download the Personal Web Package and import it into your newly created web.

These are basic templates. There are other styles you will need to add as you go along. Google is your friend. Learn to use it to find style info you might need. There are many resources for learning CSS. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Investigate both the code and the style sheet. Make changes so you understand how the style sheet and coding relate to each other.

For the time being, they made Expression Web 4, Expression Design 4 and Expression Encoder 4 free for download. That may not be a big deal to some, but I think it could prove useful to some. I haven’t really used it much before, but the first time I opened Expression Web 4, what struck me how similar the interface looks to SharePoint Designer. If you own Expression Web 3, you can upgrade to Expression Web 4 for free. Just download the trial of Expression Web 4 to the machine on which you have Expression Web 3 installed. The version 4 trial will find the existing license and convert from a trial to a perpetual product.
