Is there a way where a third party can login to a Freeway site and alter some text or change out an image from a selection of images? Just curious.

Yes. It’s typically done with some flavor of CMS.

Or you could use a reference URL for an image and the Client could upload an image with the same name to the same server location to replace the original.
In FW with your graphic box selected look under the third Tab (the one that looks like a Page) - now from the type selector choose URL. A dialogue box will open so that you can type/paste the URL of the image.
The path could be to an image on your webspace or even someone else’s as long as the image is publicly accessible.

That’s cool David! I had no idea all those options were there. What would you use the footer/header/nav images for? I’m curious how someone might use these features of FW.

Steven,
With the help of many people on this forum, I’ve used PulseCMS on this site created entirely in FreeWay. The client can change out text and images. Pulse also has a gallery feature that might prove helpful to your needs.
If I can do it, anyone can! Good luck!

Not getting this. PulseCMS and other CMS tools look like Template sites aka WordPress. Not seeing how they work with the flexibility of Freeway.

What would you use the footer/header/nav images for?
If you select footer/header/nav you will see that the graphic box changes into an html item - that list is a list of html5 defined container/section types.
So to be correctly semantic your Navigation container should have the html5 type of Nav - similarly for all the other sections/containers on your page.

Not all CMS work like Wordpress etc.
With Pulse (and many of the others) you can insert a code snippet into your FW layout and the CMS will inject the content that is stored within the CMS itself.
The layout is irrelevant when you do this and could be created in any html editing/creating software or text editor.

Not necessarily.
You insert tiny code snippets into the FW page which establishes a connection between the front-end (your design) with the back-end (the CMS). The option to use (or not use) a canned template is yours. Your FW page(s) (or any page) are, functionally speaking, just templates, regardless of how they were created.

You can use Freeway to create the template pages, though, so you get the best of both worlds. I have my own CMS system called Inlay, which allows you to publish a static page from Freeway, then reach into that page and make changes to it through a CMS interface. The way it works is you use an Action to mark individual page elements as editable, publish to your server, and then visit that server from the Inlay service. Any changes you make within Inlay’s control panel will be immediately reflected in your public site.
That said, Inlay does not (yet) have a very usable image update method. If you upload your images to a public service, like Flickr, where you can get a new URL for that image, then you could update the image URL in Inlay by copying and pasting it into a “Raw Markup” element. But that’s not very “WYSIWYG”. I do hope to come up with a better solution for this, but I haven’t had much time to work on it lately.
