Okay sure, it’s clearly a beta and it doesn’t have all its features yet. But oh boy, once I knuckled down and started testing Xway properly it got rather exciting! I’ve just finished rebuilding my Panorama Photographer site and I’m pleased.
I have used more custom CSS markup than will be needed when Xway is finished, but even doing that was impressively straightforward. I caught myself out from time to time and had to rebuild some nested structures, but that’s all part of the learning process.
The site may need refining and there are a few things that I’d structure slightly differently now that I’ve learned more about using Xway, but this will certainly do for now!
I spent a little time yesterday updating it with beta 2 and doing away with some of the workarounds that I had to employ to step around missing features. I’ll see if I can upload the revised document soon.
I agree it is beta with some key features still to come, but I can see the potential to make Xway a worthy replacement of Freeway. Like all software, it requires practice to get used to its different approach. There are certainly improvements in ease of use compared to Freeway.
After a few hours playing round, here is my first live website with Xway B2 (a website ‘copied’ over from Freeway Pro):
