A Personal Web Package is a process in Expression Web where you can export or "package" a website with all of accompanying files and folders so that someone else can import the package into their website.

Before you can use the web package, you will need to import the files into your testbed website. 

To import a personal web package

  1. With your new empty website open, on the File menu, point to Import, and then click Personal Web Package.
