Freeway 5 Reviews
The media is loving Freeway 5 - already we are picking up a host of outstanding reviews from the press and the blogosphere.
Freeway is an impressive package. I was pleasantly surprised at how powerful it was for producing highly-functional and complex Web sites, and at how the interface deployed like a design tool instead of a programming tool. I recommend it, especially considering the relatively low cost of entry (with Freeway Express at $79) and the ease of upgrading, if necessary. If you’re a designer or consultant who needs to offer customized Web sites to clients, Freeway will fit right into your context. Likewise, businesses or organizations that want to keep such work “in-house” will find that it gets the job done well.
The MacObserver
“Designing a professional looking Web site requires good coding and good design skills -- a combination that isn't overly prominent in the Web design world. Freeway Pro 5.2 helps overcome that problem by giving designers the tools they need to build great sites without requiring them to develop strong coding skills, and it does it all without compromising on visual and behind-the-scenes code quality.”

Freeway has always offered graphics-rich authoring and an interface that works well for those used to page-layout applications. This latest version brings some wish-list items on board, as well as enhancements to some favorite features to bring Freeway 5 Pro into today’s world of search engine optimization and home-based e-commerce.

“When it’s time for you or your business to post a Web site, you’re faced with the prospect of building it yourself or hiring a designer… Either way, you’ll want an affordable program that you're comfortable using. Freeway 5 Pro (version 5.2), or even Freeway Express, fits the bill whether or not you're a professional designer or have Web design experience.”

Software Editorial
“Softpress Freeway Pro 5 is a web application with its emphasis on design and simplicity it is packed with features that will not only attract the experienced user but also has made it possible for desktop publishers to design websites too.”
MacNN
“If your current design program is too limited or too complicated, then Freeway may be the program you need.”
MacObserver
“Your Web site is going to look good no matter what Web browser is going to be reading it. Someone viewing your Web site on a PC using Explorer should see a good, clean site, just like someone viewing it on a Mac using Safari.”
IT.Enquirer
“The things that speak in favour of Freeway –and now even more in the new version– are not just the ease-of-use and the concept that makes web page design strongly resemble layout design.
“Rather, I’m enchanted by the large number of included Actions, which now also include shopping cart functionality, Google, Analytics, Maps and AdSense capabilities.”
