Hi,
I’ve been using Freeway Pro to author a website for a client. Now he wants to do it himself!
I was going to tell him to buy Freeway and then just pass the files over but he only has a PC and now I discover Freeway is only Mac compatible.
What’s the best solution to this problem? He’s a total novice so the simpliest solution please.
TIA!

If he want’s to do it himself, then its his responsibility to sort out how.

I have a client that edits the site themselves after I have completely designed it (www.adaptive.com). I told them that once they start editing it then it’s down to them from that point on. It’s not the best solution as 6 months down the line if they need any help on it (a new page etc.) then I can’t really assist.
So, a Mac and Freeway is the only thing I can think of if you need to collaborate on a site. Or, if there are only parts of a site that the client needs to edit the you could always use a CMS like WebYep (http://www.obdev.at/products/webyep/index.html)) it works well with freeway.

Right, so Freeway files are not readable by any other authoring package.
I can’t say, export the site as HTML and get him to import it through some other authoring application. (Just looking through the menus it doesn’t look like I can).

Just to point out the unsaid inference here: the site folder (what
gets published to the server) contains standards-compliant HTML and
associated graphics files. Your client would need to invest in an
HTML editor of some sort, which would range from cheap and cheerful
to ultra-expensive and hand-holding.

Thanks Nathan, that’s a feasible option for the short term. I’ll check it out.
