I am looking to see what is possible with Freeway, seeing as its my preferred website design tool.
I’m totally with you.
How much is achievable of this example within Freeway? Or would it be easier for me to just do this all in Wordpress?
Well - I woke up this morning and recognized, that Freeway is generating code. The underlying code is the base for a browser to display things. So I tend to say, that Freeway can cover all constructional facts of this (pretty nice) page.
Easier in WP? This is hard to judge, cause it really depends what shall happen with the project later. And I haven’t covered the tons of functions in there yet (slider, menubar for small devices, smoothness, galleries etc) which are all based on jQuery and works in WP as simple extensions. For me personal it would be indeed a long journey to suck all that out and transfer it into Freeway.
I know that aspects of the whole Wordpress/Freeway discussion have been covered before but I’m interested to know if this design can be recreated using Freeway at all.
It may be a larger project but I’d be interested to have any expert eyes views on this.
Hope things are good where you are.

It is always good to have a discussion on everything and unlike a couple of others here, I am not that negative towards WordPress.
It is a matter of (unfortunately) fact, that we can’t use Freeway for building WP templates at a current stat (and I’m even unsure if this is really true - I simply didn’t dig that deep into this yet).
The InlineConstruction (relative positioned items) is a “must have” in both worlds WP and FW and I could think of Caleb’s Backdraft as a really good starting point to cover the FW side.
So - yes, I see a good chance but I also see a couple of obstacles and plenty of work to keep it clean, straight and easy. I should really bookmark this and simply start - if I would find a bit of time to dig.
Cheers
