Microsoft® Expression® Web Step by Step

Key Points

• Use images properly in your pages, being sure to avoid excessive page file size and download time without adding any descriptive value to the content.

• Expression Web has tools to make rudimentary image editing possible from within the Expression Web interface.

• If you use CSS and a background image, you achieve the same results visually as you would by using an edited image, and you also gain additional semantic value, search-engine friendliness, and accessibility.

• By using Expression Web’s interface, you can easily replace default bullets with custom images.

• By using CSS, you can create CSS-only image buttons that have a roll-over effect, minimizing page size and improving semantic value and accessibility.
