#FREEWAY PRO SHOWCASE GALLERY GENERATOR#

In general, I believe that the era of Mac web site generator such as Freeway Pro, iWeb, Sandvox and Rapidweaver has come and gone, and these apps will go the way of the dinosaurs in a few years. And then, if I want more than that, open source CMS platform such as self-hosted WordPress and Concrete5 would give me the power to do all kinds of custom work while also keeping me from reinventing the wheel via plug-ins and premium themes, none of which Freeway Pro can match. If I just want to get something up and running fast and easy with minimum fuss, online services such as, , are far more suitable for such scenario and they still offer CMS and social capability right out of the box, which Freeway Pro doesn't. The whole thing is becoming more like a web app development, and Freeway Pro doesn't address these needs much at all. Web is about usefulness, mobile access (not just front end, but also updating process as well) and social media.

Gone are the days of web design based on print design mindset, which this software is based on. WYSWYG is one of Freeway Pro's selling points, but the thing is that web is not WYSWYG. Keep up the good work Softpress!įreeway Pro is an ok application, but I consider it utterly obsolete and irrelevant. Lastly, I do not have to spend hours sorting out irregularities caused by poorly generated code, it is not perfect but what is. Love it or leave it remember it's just your opinion. Unfortunately some comments and reviews left here seem to be more trollish than factual and it seems some folk have real issues with objective civil communication. Obviously it will not appeal to everyone. It is user friendly and Softpress does respond to issues unlike other web apps I have tried who lead you to user forums rather than direct support. I applaud the latest version and I am presently using BackDraft to augment my responsive design projects. I have tried many other web creation apps and have always gone back to Freeway. I have found support responsive and helpful and were willing to walk me through difficult problems either due to my lack of experience or being more old school. I have used Freeway from the very beginning (discovered it around 1998 from a Computer Arts mag CD).

'Thank you for your support over these many years. Customer downloads will continue to be available from their respective links below and the Softpress KnowledgeBase is still active. 'We will do our best to ensure that users can get community support in the short term through FreewayTalk, though there are no plans to further develop our products at this time. Some of our team have been “on duty” here at Softpress Towers since the beginning. The challenges that we have overcome, the friendships we have found, and the daily efforts we have shared as a team, have defined much of our lives since 1993. 'It is with great sadness that we have made this decision Softpress has been a part of our lives for over two decades. It has become clear that our prospects, both in terms of current revenue and new product development, are insufficient to sustain the company as a viable entity going forward. 'To all our friends, partners and customers: Here is the final message from the developer's website: ABANDONWARE: Freeway Pro, and all other software by the developer Softpress, is now discontinued.
