[QUOTE="Jeff Zeitlin, post: 13960696"] Another point that the OP missed, which also adversely impacts conversion from FrontPage to Expression Web, is that even design-time FrontPage Components that do NOT require the server extensions (for example, the third-party MenuPlus Navigation Bar generator and Table of Contents Generator) are not supported, and useful alternatives are not provided. On top of that, Expression Web does not appear, even at version 3, to support the Navigation View (nor, therefore, any components/macros/etc.) that could rely on it for generating navigation) that FrontPage did, which made generating site navigation so easy. I have found Expression Web so deficient that I made a significant effort and managed to "hack" an installation of FrontPage 2003 onto my Windows 7/64 computer (not much of a hack; just needed to figure out how to NOT use the supplied SETUP.EXE - info available on request), just so that I could continue to maintain a website - done in FrontPage - that currently has over 1000 pages and has been operating for fifteen years. Over that time, through the use of templates and knowledge of HTML and CSS, I have "beaten FrontPage into submission" and get generally clean code, generally conformant to relevant standards.
