Hi there
I have touched upon this issue with freeway previously, but now I am having some problem in understanding it.
Ok’ firstly I red that I am not required to add Title description of the pages with the Meta Tag option, here I need to include only Meta description and keywords, no Title? Am I right?
Title is not a meta tag, it is a single tag that is a part of the head of any valid HTML page. Freeway provides a field for it in the Inspector. When you add a new page, the name you give it in the New Page dialog becomes the Title tag. So if you want to add all that extra SEO goodness, just type it in there when you’re adding the page. Alternatively, you can edit the Title by clicking on the pasteboard (so nothing on the page is selected) and type your new title into the Title field in the Page Inspector’s left-most tab.
Freeway also does some magic with the title that you enter in the Inspector: If you just type in a title, and never manually adjust the Filename setting, then changes to the Title field will be reflected (sorta) in the filename. (Sorta because spaces and some punctuation are removed, and the whole thing gets truncated after a certain number of characters you set in the Site Preferences.) However, once you manually adjust the Filename field in the Inspector, this automatic link is broken, and whatever you type in the Filename field will be used, even if the Title field is edited later.
I am not sure why most of the websites on the internet, are missing the .html All pages I created with Freeway except the home page have html at the end:
For example is the following possible with Freeway and how to do it?
I have a page with title: aboutdogs.html When I preview the page title in SeoQuacke for example, as a page title I want to see not only About Dog, but About Dog I Best Breads etc. Well how to do this in freeway?
The next case I noticed is that there are some pages without html at the end, for example mysite.com/about-dogs And again in the preview of the Title I see more than just About Dogs - Well, I am not sure what I am missing here, but I am almost ready with my site and I don’t want to mess things at the end.
Technically, any page that ends without an extension is actually the index page of a folder. If you were to add /index.html after about-dogs, the same page would load. This is the same trick that servers use so you can enter http://www.example.com/ instead of Example Domain (even though the latter is actually correct, and the former is really the server correcting your mistake for you).
So if you wanted to have your URLs look that way, you would need to do two things (manually) in Freeway:
- Replace all of your subject pages with folders, move the current subject page into those folders, and rename their filenames to index.html.
- Go through all of the links you have made to those pages (which will still work, thanks to the magic of Freeway) and change them from automatic to manual (use the External tab) links. You would have to enter /about-dogs in the URL field yourself, and if you ever changed the name of that folder, you would have to update all the links manually.
Your site folder would look like this:
about-dogs
index.html
about-pigs
index.html
about-zebras
index.html
Seems like a whole lot of work for very little benefit.

Thanks for your help in advance!
