How to Add a Shortcut Icon Using Microsoft Web Expression
Websites using only text or hyperlinks may meet web accessibility standards, but they are visually unappealing. Color, graphics, icons and other media content will draw web users to your website and encourage return visitors. Microsoft Expression Web uses an intuitive interface to aid you in designing a comprehensive and appealing website. A casual or inexperienced web designer will benefit from the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Microsoft Expression Web gives an advanced designer the ability to switch between the GUI and code, and to incorporate Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
