Freeway 5.5 released with Showcase Gallery app

Softpress Systems has released Freeway 5.5 , a new version of its web design products, Freeway Express and Pro. Versions of both Freeway Express and Freeway Pro are available from the Softpress web site (http://www.softpress.com)

According to Softpress Managing Director Richard Logan, alongside Freeway's extensive existing feature set, Freeway 5.5 has a range of new functionality including:

° Freeway Showcase: Showcase offers even absolute beginners thousands of fully-customizable options so that they can effortlessly build professional, feature-rich galleries and slideshows from scratch in just minutes, he says. You can import images for use into the application via drag and drop from the Finder, or from iPhoto/Aperture libraries displayed in the app itself), or by direct import. A variety of appearance and layout options are available including borders, shadows, reflections and more. Freeway Showcase supports common web image types as well as TIFF and native Photoshop files.

° Relative page layout (Pro-only): Users can create complex CSS layouts that respond appropriately when content on the page changes in size or is added/removed dynamically - without needing to learn CSS.

° HTML email generation: The Create Email Action allows users to design emails and newsletters with fewer restrictions. When the page is published, Freeway will convert it into "email-friendly" HTML that can be opened up in Apple Mail, or dropped into a sending service such as MailChimp or Vertical Response.

° Site search (Pro-only): You can add search facility to your sites. With no server-side technologies used, this effective search functionality can be used on all sites, purportedly even those hosted on MobileMe.

° Search engine sitemaps: The Site Mapper Action will keep search engines up-to-date by automatically generating Google-friendly XML sitemaps, and Yahoo! URL lists, each time you update your site.

° Amazon affiliation: This connects your site with Amazon sites that will pay you cash for all sales originating from your site. Amazon USA, UK, France, Germany and Japan are all supported.

° Improved upload: Freeway now supports secure uploads through SFTP and FTPS, in addition to existing upload methods (FTP, MobileMe and File Copy).

° New templates: New and improved templates -- all of them free. The preview version includes three new templates; more will be included in the release version.
