Brian, if you want to try importing your site to Expression Web or any other program, make a -->COPY<-- of your entire website and import the copy. Or use the copy as backup and import the original. But just make sure you always keep an absolutely complete version of the original site, untouched by any other program, so you can revert to it if necessary.

EW can rewrite various aspects of your pages without telling you and without you telling it to. If you decide EW's methods aren't what you want, you could be left with a converted site with no way of going back.

With that warning out of the way, if your pages are basically HTML, you might well discover that your site is already 21st century.

Web pages are plain text documents. Different web design programs provide different features for editing the text in those documents. If you used a lot of FrontPage gimmicks (such as webbots), you might find you have some technical conversions to do. But if your pages are relatively plain, you might discover that they'll import cleanly into any editor you choose.
