First Look: Freeway 5
Designing webpages is often a compromise. Hardcore enthusiasts may prefer hand-coding entire pages, which allows precise control in exchange for complexity; novices often prefer simplified programs, with templates that do most of the work for you, but this often comes at the cost of customization. Even professional programs like Adobe’s Dreamweaver requires designers to learn the complexities of HTML coding in order to create the results they want. If you’d rather spend your time designing the appearance of pages rather than learning the complexities of HTML or Javascript coding, you may prefer Freeway 5, which feels more like a desktop publishing program that lets you precisely drag and position items on a page.
