What's new in Expression Web 3

SuperPreview
Expression Web provides new tools to make sure that the pages in your site work in multiple browsers.
Using SuperPreview, you can preview and compare pages simultaneously in multiple browsers, even in multiple versions of Internet Explorer. You can also compare browser views against a comprehensive mock-up ("comp") image.
You can select individual elements within a page and see details about each selected element, helping you quickly find and fix cross-browser layout and positioning errors.


Snapshot Preview

Snapshot Preview provides a high-fidelity browser preview that updates live as you edit your code, saving you the time and effort of loading the page in a browser for each code change.
Deep Zoom

You can add both Silverlight and Seadragon Ajax Deep Zoom Composer images to your page in Expression Web from a composition created in Deep Zoom Composer.

Professional Code Editor

IntelliSense and color-coding for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP make your editing and debugging more productive. And, real-time standards validation provides instant feedback on standards violations so you can make corrections as you code.

Professional Design Surface

Generate elegant, modern CSS layouts with state-of-the-art design surface and the ability to directly manipulate positioning, sizing, margins and padding. With Expression Web's sophisticated CSS rendering engine, you can make design decisions on the fly and see a faithful representation of the final browser-rendered page.

By Rdi Inc.
I recently purchased the upgrade for Expression Web 3.

I found the black interface screen very difficult to read. I searched for ways to change it and found that a lot of users don't like it but there is no way to change it.

Microsoft deleted VBA support in this upgrade. I use Expression Web VBA all the time, so I had to go back to using my old Expression Web version. I made the mistake of purchasing the product instead of downloading the free trial and I'm not going to go through the hassle of trying to return it.

I'd definitely advise downloading the free trial and taking a long look at it before you purchase it.
