When you create a page, you should preview it in a browser with font sizes set to larger (and smaller) than the default. This is essential
to check that page elements haven’t broken up or moved apart under different viewing conditions. Also, be aware that font sizes on
Windows PCs are approximately 10% larger than they are on the Mac, so problems can occur when pages that look fine on the Mac are
viewed using Windows browsers.
If you don’t have a Windows PC available to check the pages yourself, ask a friend or colleague with a PC to check the site for you or join
a web design mailing list on the Internet and ask for a site review (Softpress’s own Freeway Talk list is a good place to start!). You may be
surprised how helpful people are on such lists, but you do need to make the pages available on the web for other people to view at their
convenience. You might like to consider using a “virtual machine” (such as Parallels or VMWare) on your Mac so you can run Windows to
view your sites in different versions of PC browsers.
8 Publishing and uploading the site
Previewing your site on your own machine or network is one thing, but if others are to see it, you have to get the files (HTML documents,
graphics, sounds, etc.) onto a web server. Whether you have a web server on your internal network or you use one the various FTP
protocols to upload files to your web space, Freeway can do this for you automatically using the Upload… command. See the section
Publishing the site on page 135 for more information on how to upload your files using FTP, FTPS or SFTP as well as publishing your files to
a specified local folder by using the File Copy option.
In order to make the connection to your web space, you need to know the server or host details, the path to your folder (if any), and
a login and password. If in doubt about what these should be, you need to speak to either your web server system administrator or the
support helpline of your web host, who will be able to give you this information.
Each web host will use slightly different settings (such as requiring an IP address or your web domain), so find the information your
host sent to you by email which gives you all of that information. There is an article on the Softpress KnowledgeBase which offers help
for this at http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/152/.
9 Maintaining the site
When the time comes to make changes to your site, the easiest way of doing this is to open the original Freeway document, make the
changes you need, and use the Upload… command to update your web site. When using the Upload… command, both your local site
folder and your web space are updated with the latest changes in your document.
Creating a new site document
To create a new document, choose New… from the File menu.
The New Document dialog is displayed to allow you to specify
settings that will apply to your entire site.
Freeway Express will always display options for starting from a
template. If you wish to start from a blank canvas (ie, starting
without using a template as a basis for your new site), choose
the Blank template which you will find by selecting General in
the left-hand pane. See the screenshot (right).
Freeway Pro has an additional feature in the New Document
dialog in that it has two “tabs” where you can switch between
Templates or Custom. See the screenshot (below right).
In Freeway Pro the Templates tab offers a list of predefined
templates you can use as a basis for your new site—which is
very similar to that shown in the Freeway Express screenshot,
but clicking on the Custom tab you can see the New Document
dialog shown below right.
In the following pages, we will concentrate on the Custom
settings, available only in Freeway Pro.
Default HTML
FW Pro only
This popup menu in the New Document dialog box Custom
panel allows you to select which version of HTML will be used for
Freeway’s output. It also affects whether certain functionality is
available.
• HTML 4.01 Transitional and HTML 4.01 Strict provide
dynamic HTML and CSS support with most browsers
including many older ones.
• XHTML 1.0 Transitional and XHTML 1.0 Strict generate
XHTML-compliant code, for use with applications that require
it.
• HTML5
—which is the version we recommend you use unless you have a particular reason to choose otherwise—takes advantage of
many new features of recent browsers.
• XHTML5 generates XHTML-compliant code, for use with applications that require it.
Important: Freeway Express only publishes to HTML5.
