Microsoft SharePoint Designer (full name Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer) is a free WYSIWYG HTML editor and web design program from Microsoft for SharePoint and other websites and is part of the SharePoint family of products. 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, while Microsoft Expression Web is the full-featured successor to FrontPage. SharePoint Designer shares its codebase, UI and HTML rendering engine with Microsoft Expression Web, and does not rely on Internet Explorer's Trident engine, which is less standards compliant.[1] One of its differences from the general web design application, Expression Web, is that it does include only SharePoint-specific site templates. It retains more FrontPage features than Expression Web such as web components, database, marquee, hit counter, navigation bars, insert maps etc.
SharePoint Designer is available as license-restricted freeware.[2]
Its designer-oriented counterpart, Microsoft Expression Web, which bears a striking similarity to Microsoft SharePoint Designer, is aimed at general web development, and is not free.

1. The Microsoft website is one example of SharePoint 2007. Use Sharepoint Designer to customize the master page, so API access is not required.
