Converting a FrontPage Site to Freeway?

I’m considering switching to Freeway, however my web site was created with FrontPage, and it’s too large to consider starting anew. Is there a migration tool for conversion from FrontPage to Freeway?

Simple answer…nope.

Longer answer:

Freeway is an HTML generator rather than an editor. The reason for
this is so that you can have a lot more control over your designs
since you are not limited to the restrictions of designing in HTML
such as building a structure for your content and not being able to
drag items around the page like a page layout program.

Because of the way that we have made Freeway it is very easy to
recreate your site, regardless of its size. You can do this by making
a Master page (a template for all of your pages) and then dragging and
dropping the images and copying and pasting the text from your
existing site.

Thank you, Joe. That was helpful. Now I need to learn how to make a template, but will research the resources on-line to see if I can puzzle through it all. I’m working with the Demo Freeway program now…

No problem, take a look at the QuickTime tutorials here: http://www.softpress.com/support/freewaymoments.php

There’s a Master Page one there and the others should all be very
helpful too.
