BUILDING ON SUCCESSPrevious versions of Freeway have thrilled designers around the world with a combination of print-quality typography, precision page layout and superb image control. Freeway 4 raises the stakes even higher. REAL CSS CONTROLFreeway Pro 4 can be used to create CSS (table-less) page layouts using absolute positioning, and exposes the real power of CSS through relative positioning, percentage scaling of all elements, partial styles, and more, and all with the legendary Freeway WYSIWYG design view. STANDARDS-COMPLIANT
GRAPHIC BOX AND TEXT EFFECTS
EDITABLE GRAPHIC TEXTUse any font installed on your Mac to create graphic headlines or other decorative elements. All of the effects above can be applied to the text—even on a character by character basis. Use advanced kerning, tracking, baseline shift, and more to refine your typographical message. Use any color or combination of colors you like. When you publish, a graphic will be created out of the text. The text remains editable within Freeway. TRANSPARENCY
When you overlap two transparent objects, Freeway will either composite them together, or maintain them as separate layered objects in the final layout. Anti-aliasing to blend overlapping colors is automatically calculated. Freeway 4 Pro supports transparent images from Photoshop, Illustrator and Freehand, Fireworks, and many other applications. This is some text in English, 汉语, Русско, 한국어, and Ελληνικά UNICODE—BECAUSE IT’S NOT SUCH A SMALL, SMALL, WORLDUnicode text allows you to mix characters from many languages within a single line of text. Visitors to your site don’t need to have special fonts for each language, or to select the page language from a list—it just works. Each Unicode font can contain tens of thousands of characters or glyphs. NEW INTERFACECarefully designed to make it easier to focus on your design, while keeping everything you need close at hand: The redesigned Inspector dynamically resizes itself to present just the tools you need for the current selection The new Site panel makes it easy to create pages or folders, and to organize your site quickly The new configurable toolbar allows you to personalize Freeway to your own working style Contextual pop-up menus come to life with a Control-click (or right-click on a multi-button mouse) and present the most-used options for the current selection Scroll wheel support allows you to blaze through large documents Dynamic Site Panel allows site arrangement, drag & drop, object selection and more Page Preview using the same rendering engine as Apple Safari—check a page in a genuine browser view without publishing your entire site OTHER NOTABLE FREEWAY 4 FEATURESHierarchical (nested) layout Built-in preview within Freeway (Safari/Webkit) Integrated .Mac upload Navigation Pack supplied separately as free open source software Spotlight compatibility in Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) IMPROVED GRAPHICS HANDLING Full EPS (Panther & later), Illustrator, Photoshop layered file import Graphic box effects, Text effects - shadow, glow, emboss, blur, scatter Vector effects (wobble and crack), Border types (dashing, dotted) Improved transparency (opacity) options Graphics and Graphics Extra FAST packs are built into Freeway 4: CODE OUTPUTUnicode for truly multilingual sites; mix languages on the same page, even on the same line.

MULTIPLE MASTER PAGESDesigning a Web site using master pages is one of the keys to the amazing level of productivity that can be achieved with Freeway. Master pages are used for repeating features such as layout, navigation bars, page backgrounds and graphic elements. Use as many different master pages as required. LAYOUT TOOLS
LINK MAPProvides a complete overview of the hyperlinks that connect each page in a site. Hyperlinks made within the site are automatically tracked and are impossible to break accidentally. Although not reflected in the Link Map, Freeway also allows you to edit the hyperlinks and change backgrounds in Flash movies directly in the layout. |

Designing with standards means that you can trust that a modern browser will always render your pages consistently. It also means that you can create designs that work well for visually disabled visitors using “speaking” browsers, or cell-phone/PDA users, or new platforms yet to be invented. Even create XHTML Strict without a trip to MIT for a Master’s degree.
Create exciting edge effects, shadows and glows—even rough edges—on graphic text and images. You won’t need to leave Freeway, and you won’t need to modify your original artwork or create multiple versions. 
Freeway 4 takes the idea of a fully transparent graphic compositing engine to the next level. Any object on the page, even characters of type, can have transparency or variable opacity. 
Including transformation, zoom, guide and ruler features, all with both graphical and numeric controls for accurate positioning. Content can be placed in overlapping boxes, text on graphic, text on text, graphic on graphic, even text on animated GIFs! Drag and drop directly into Freeway from most applications (for example iPhoto, iTunes, Extensis Portfolio, iView Media Pro, and so on).
