FrontPage replacement out in beta

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft's Expression Web design tool is one step closer to the market, along with a new beta and a shorter name.

The product formerly known as Microsoft Expression Web Designer is now Expression Web and has entered its first public beta after several months in the Community Technology Preview program.

Expression Web is Microsoft's first serious entry into the Web design and publishing market. It had a Web designer in the form of FrontPage, but FrontPage was never meant for heavy-duty Web page development and has fallen significantly behind in keeping up with the advance of new Web technologies.
