Do you have Freeway 6 yet? There are a lot more controls in that version that you could use to create such a layout. The trick is going to be to use the image as a background image to an HTML item that you size as 100% horizontal width and some number of pixels height. Then you will need to add a special bit of CSS to your page to make the image resize automatically to cover (not fill) that HTML box. This will keep it sized proportionally, even as it scales to fill the screen. Freeway can’t add this for you automatically, but you can paste in an edited version of the following (change the item42 to match the actual Name/ID of the HTML element you have applied your background image to).
<style type="text/css">
#item42 { background-size: cover }
</style>
You’d paste that into your Page / HTML Markup dialog, in the Before section.
To get other elements on the same page to not be full-width, you would either give them a defined width and percentage positioning (for positioned elements) or you would place them inline and use margin:auto to space them that way. Freeway 6 has about 100 more possible layouts than 5.5 or previous, because they have separated the ideas of page width and item width from one another, and embrace the max and min variants of each of the dimension attributes.

Hello all,
my name is Philipp and I live in Germany and I am using Freeway since 13 years.
I am not the big Coder - I love clean design - and that’s why I love Freeway from the fist day I saw it on a screen - anywhere in an ad agency, long long time ago. I am working as a designer and photographer.
I start asking my question, that keeps me busy for a long time!
I would like an image to be full width of viewport but with a fixed height (e.g. 400 px).
I tried to position the image as inline object with centered alignment and the markup at ![]()
(width: 100%; height: 400px; overflow: hidden). But it really doesn’t work the way I want. I do not want the page to be responsive. I only want the images to be shown the way like in the sample.
Many many thanks in advance!
Philipp
