With Expression Web 2, you have virtually limitless possibilities for setting up your workspace, and you can chose to use or not use proprietary technology such as metafiles. The overriding predisposition of Expression Web 2 is to write W3C-valid code and produce accessible sites, all while not forcing you to wade through HTML code.

You will also find DWTs to be an efficient way to manage Web sites and keep them uniform and uniformly updated.

Expression Web 2 makes a distinction, and so should you, about what is an individual file and what is a file that’s part of a logical grouping: an Expression Web site.

Although Expression Web 2 is an excellent tool for working on documents at any level, from presentation to their code structure, if you understand and make use of the Expression Web "site" concept, you can use the excellent site management capabilities of Expression Web 2.
