If the pages don’t exist in Freeway yet, then you’ll have to make
“external” links in Freeway. You don’t have to add the entire http://
business, just a relative path to the file. So let’s say you had a
folder full of files:
/web_root
a.html
b.html
c.html
index.html <-- this is the Freeway-created page
Now all you would need to do in your Freeway document is set each of
the links to:
a.html
b.html
c.html
If you had some pages in a folder:
/web_root
folder
a.html
b.html
index.html <-- this is the Freeway page again
Then you would make links to those as:
folder/a.html
folder/b.html
And if you needed to move up a directory, such as if your Freeway
page was itself in a folder, and you wanted to link to a page that
was in the enclosing folder, or another sub-folder of the enclosing
folder:
/web_root
a.html
/folder
index.html <-- this is a Freeway Page
/folder2
g.html
You would make those links like this:
../a.html
../folder2/g.html
If you make links in this manner, then the site is portable. It will
run on your local Mac, or on the server, with no changes needed. As
long as you maintain the same filenames for your pages, you can make
all sorts of other changes without impacting the validity of your links.

I want to upgrade my nav bar but I don’t want to have to do each
page over in Freeway (at least, not yet).
Can I make a new nav bar (on the master page) and link it to the
pages already on the site? Assuming that I can, do I need to put
the complete url for the linked page or will the nav bar pick up
the correct pages just using the title of each page?
