Microsoft SharePoint Designer (full name Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer) is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and general web design program from Microsoft, replacing Microsoft Office FrontPage. It is part of the Microsoft Office 2007 family but not included in any of the Office 2007 suites. The name change, from FrontPage, reflects the emphasis on designing and customizing SharePoint websites. SharePoint Designer shares its HTML rendering engine with Microsoft Expression Web, and does not rely on Internet Explorer's Trident engine which is less standards compliant. [1]

Its sibling Microsoft Expression Web, which bears striking similarity to Microsoft SharePoint Designer, is aimed at general web development.
