Freeway 4 Express/Pro - a new take on web design | TUAW

If you've been looking for a new take on web design apps with a new, unique UI, Freeway 4 Express and Pro might be right up your alley. Freeway 4 sports features like a new dynamic property inspector, a birds-eye site panel, "master pages" for site templates and repeating objects, rich media, actions for automating tasks with simple clicks such as creating button rollovers, .Mac uploading and a whole lot more. The $249 Pro version edges ahead of the $89 Express with features like a link map for site-wide link management, importing Illustrator and Photoshop content and enhanced graphic effects. Check out the full list of Pro-only features to see everything that the extra $160 gets you, or fill out a form (lame, I know) to pick up full-featured demos of either version of Express or any other Softpress Systems Ltd. products.

Freeway does not import HTML very well, that's true, but that's only because of the way it works. It allows you to do thing differently (i.e.) easier and yet generate HTML that is W3C compliant. It allows you to think as a designer, not a coder. For me, Freeway is to web-design what the Mac is to computing. The Pro version is indeed a Pro application and can do anything Dreamweaver can do but a heck of a lot easier, and yet generate the same code, often cleaner in fact.

Please don't knock it because of it's import function. That would be saying that InDesign sucks because it can't always import Quark properly. That doesn't make it a bad design application!!

Freeway is completely lame. It doesn't let you import your existing html pages.
