For those of you that have been enjoying the trial version of Expression Web 1, but have been sitting on the fence about purchasing it ever since you saw the BETA of Expression Web 2 come out...well now you can safely commit to the purchase because version 2 will be provided to you for FREE if you buy Expression Web 1 sometime between February 24th and June 1st of 2008.
The Expression website now provides all of the pricing details for Expression Web 2, Expression Studio 2, and all Expression programs.
The details:
" If you purchase any Expression product between February 24th 2008 and June 1st 2008 you qualify for a free upgrade to version 2 of the same product (Web 2 for Web, Studio 2 for Studio, etc.). Details on how to get the upgrade will be published on the Expression website on May 1. Product registration and proof of purchase will be required. "
And just like before, you can get Expression Web for only $99 if you own any of the following:
And note that if you own the Academic version of a program, you will qualify for the upgrade price for the nonacademic version.
And here's another bonus tip that you will NOT find on the Expression website (at least not at the moment)...you can buy the upgrade version of Expression Media for only $99 if you own Expression Web. Why do you want to own Expression Media? For one thing, you can generate photo galleries for the web with the click of a button and create your own custom photo gallery templates with HTML and CSS. Expression Media also comes with Expression Encoder, which lets you create slide shows and deliver video for the web, and so much more. If all that is of interest to you, perhaps you should invest in the entire Expression Studio while you're at it!
