Express edition follows in Freeway Pro 4 slipstream
Posted on 10 Nov 2005 at 16:14
Following closely behind the release of Freeway Pro 4, Softpress has unveiled the new Express version of its code-free, WYSIWYG website design application.
Like its Pro big brother, Freeway Express has been redesigned with a new interface and much tighter OS X integration, with support for Spotlight searching and uploading to .Mac, for example.
Other new features include text and graphics effects, improved transparency options and a built-in preview using the Safari WebKit. There is also support for more sophisticated layouts and Type 1 fonts.
One of the downsides is that a few features that were present in version 3 have been dropped, such as layout grids and the transform dialogue.
'All of these features are still to be found in Pro, now have a look at what's new!,' said Softpress MD Richard Logan. 'I think it's a small price to pay, and one worth paying, for the simplification of the interface.'
A free preview version of Freeway Express can be downloaded from www.softpress.com/en/downloads. The application costs £53 and upgrading thereafter to Freeway Pro is an additional £100 (Pro costs £147; boxed versions with printed manuals are extra: http://www.softpress.com/en/buy_now/).
Pro-only features include multiple output options (HTML 3.2, HTML 4.01, XHTML Transitional and Strict), complete colour and text style management across the entire document, multiple style sheets for each document and full CSS text styling and CSS layout (see Additional Features in Freeway 4 Pro for details).
