As my website needs updating I am trying to build my own by using Microsoft Expression Web 2. Was getting tired of the usual programs which give you a template. Like to be a bit more adventurous (so expect more questions :E) this time around.

Before I launch in to builing a whole new website I would like to ask if somebody knows if you can build your own webstore with Microsoft Expression Web 2?

If not, is it possible to integrate oscommerce into the website?

On the home page there will be (hopefully) a button which you can press which will take you to the webstore. So the store does not appear on the homepage.

Thank you for your time.

Some links to try

Microsoft Expression Web templates and Ecommerce Templates shopping cart software (http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/expression-web.asp)

and

Expression Web Downloads (http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc507118.aspx)

Can be done various ways, some easier than others, the easier ones are the more expensive ones too.

Depends on what level shopping cart you need, you could make do with paypal shopping cart integration?

Expression is a bit like Microsofts own version of Dreamweaver, its very powerful and I got on well with it when I was using it.

Although it does have templates and functionality it is more geared to the web developer writing the code behind themselves. Check the links CJEM has provided for some samples to incorporate or if you have the expertise you can write your own.

If you use the The W3C Markup Validation Service (http://validator.w3.org/) then you should achieve fairly good cross browser support also.
