All I want is to be able to build a website with information, pictures,
sound and video. I would also like to have links to email, other websites.
It's a school website

By the way Expression web is on the costly side? How come it's that dear,
when Frontpage was bundled with Windows for free?

You're talking HTML, and you use Expression Web.

This machine running Win 7 and IIS7 will it be a public/Internet or
private/Intranet facing site?

I don't know ask MS. But I suspect it's a tool aimed at professionals.
You can make pages with all the bells and whistles using 2010 Web
Development Express Edition too which is free.

Well, in addition, if using IIS7 and Win 7 hosting it, then you'll need
to find information on how to harden IIS7 and Win 7. Otherwise, the site
will just be hack bait.

Seamonkey composer will do what you want. It comes with the Seamonkey
suite from Mozilla. Get it here: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ It
works just fine on Windows 7.

Frontpage Express was back in the 98/Me days. Microsoft Comic Chat and
V-Chat also disappeared with the advent of XP.

Hi,

My two cents:

It is advised to determine which Web technologies to be used before choosing
development tools, since you can always change tools relatively easy, but
changing web technologies may require re-do/learn the entire work.

To begin with, you should consider which web platform to use, and the two
most popular ones are: Microsoft-based (e.g. Windows Servers, .Net, SQL,
etc.), and Open Source-based (e.g. Apache, Java, PHP, MySQL, etc.)

In general, platform technologies include, at least, web servers,
programming language(s), relational database, etc. There are ample
information available on the Internet(or books), so you should have no
problems for finding related information.

When you determined the core technologies to use, you then can investigate
which tool(s) are more appropriate for your needs.

My view on MS products is that they used to have an advantage of more
integrated product lines from operating systems to office products to
development tools, but when they have grown beyond manageable, they couldn't
even come up a consistent single product, they have lost the advantage.
Besides, they are less complied with the standards (that is, W3C, for
example) and tend to bundle with other MS products. But then again, it's my
personal view.

This is a good place to start gathering information:
http://www.w3schools.com/

Hope this helps and good luck.
