Assuming that Freeway 7 Pro will continue to work with the upcoming macOS Sierra, I’ll most likely continue with Freeway until (if?) I can’t anymore.
Thinking ahead: are there any software options out there for non-coders to which one could transfer a ~375-page, mobile-friendly, Freeway-generated website without having to rewrite each page into the new software?

Flux http://www.theescapers.com/product.php?product=flux does WYSIWYG and has a code editor so importing HTML and CSS isn’t a problem last time I tried it.

Most definitely. There is a lot of chat about RapidWeaver as a nice alternative over on this thread… https://freewaytalk.softpress.com/thread/view/169660

Here’s another interesting option, if you want something beginner-friendly: http://www.blocsapp.com
It follows the same paradigm as Backdraft, using prebuilt “modules” that you stack on the page to achieve your own layout. Of course, layout customization is much more limited than Freeway, but that’s not always a bad thing.

An interesting article.

That Freeway sounds good.

Whomever decided to make that grid missed the boat with RapidWeaver. Every single box should be checked for Web Authoring tools.
Blocs app definitely looks interesting. However, its still pretty young and you will start hitting limitations pretty soon with it. Its definitely on to look out for in the future though.

If you are considering Flux then maybe this bundle at $39 (which can include Flux6) would appeal

hi Jim
its a two part answer:
the first part of the answer is No, there is no software out there that will take your 375 page freeway document and make sense of it…
Second part of the answer is yes… the publish css, javascript and html files can be read by other software… but depending on what you constructed whilst creating it, will restrict what you can do with the files in certain software.
Please note that you may struggle to find a wysiwyg editor that can carry on where freeway left off and not require you to have a little bit of code knowledge.
kind regards max

Have a look at http://pinegrow.com/ but to paraphrase what Max says “it will require you to have a little bit of code knowledge to get the most out of it”
And here is a video Breakpoints tutorial on Vimeo where they take an existing non-responsive page and make it responsive in Pinegrow.

Would anyone recommend Muse? After looking at a few video tutorials, it does look interesting, especially for a non-coder like myself. But being on a subscription model puts me off.

I think a nice alternative to Freeway might be Sparkle, I have created a few sites for friends and family and it is very intuitive to use, no code at all. Worth checking out. The website is sparkle.cx

That actually looks like a nice option, and the reviews on the Mac App Store are pretty positive. For a small single site, it’s free to use both from the MAS and their site, so that should give people a chance to see if it works for them.

I’m currently diving into Coffeecup. They seem to have created a suite of great stand-alone apps like I mentioned a couple of times to Softpress … it looks great, it feels good, but I need to shake off Freeway before I think a will be a 100% comfortable. They need a consistent GUI, you can see/feel the apps have been developed in various periods of time. They just don’t match completely, but for a $300 you’re all set.

It has a beautifully simple interface, but very limited functionality. Relies on JS to create rollover effects. Not much in the way of CSS editing. No code editing… Has an embed code function but that’s it.
Shows a lot of promise for future versions.

Notice that Pinegrow is not intended to built complete sites, but to built
a template and needs to be exported afterwards.
