I have old school training in print design and need new school tools to explore and create dynamic web sites/online design. SketchFlow is a great first step for me to explore possibilities before using the rest of the suite for a clean blend of design and coding.

The best feature in Expression Studio 3 is the Sketch Flow… gotta have that!!!
about 5 months ago
I have never done a website before so playing with Expression Web 3 after having a bit of a go with Publisher was an eye opener! Got my head around CSS to start with (the free templates were a good start here) then the wierd behaviour of HTML divs and what have you. Next up the power of java and wheee! a working website at http://www.nhsjusticegroup.co.uk/ with (important I feel) all the sources I got my freebie info from on a ‘site’ page. Otherwise I would have been at it for ages and ages if left to figure everything out myself… Thanks Expression team, pole position on the tools you have shipped as far as I am concerned! Pleezze sniff! I need this software. Horrible isn’t it dear reader? Grown man (well quite small really) snivelling in public
