Thanks for the fast reply.
I’m really not trying to finish the project but rather design it and let the coders do the rest. So the finished project would be in whatever program they want.
My job is to design it, show it to the coders to make sure they can do it, and then show the client. Once ok’d by the client the coders would take it and run with it.
Where would I go to get the the code from freeway to give to my coding personnel?
In Freeway, in the Page Setup dialog, click the Site Folder button. Wherever you target that folder to live, is where your exported HTML etc. would be.
And, would the look of the website be the same on the coders program as it would in freeway?
Freeway writes HTML and CSS. Period. If they opened it in a text editor, it would look like text. (I work this way most of the time.) When they preview it into a browser, it would look the way that browser rendered that code. Once changes are made to the code, then the result would diverge from how it initially looked in Freeway, but there’s nothing magical about how Freeway writes the code in the first place that your coders would have to duplicate or know any secrets to duplicate.
Now the more you know about how Freeway writes layout code, the easier a time your coders will have working with your layout. Particularly, if you create your layout using the in-flow (box inside a box) technique, which will allow text to grow and shrink without breaking your layout or causing items to overflow one another, then the resulting code will be simpler and easier to edit. If you just draw boxes where you want things to go, and let Freeway take the path of least resistance, then the result will be a more complex layout, probably not in any semantic order, and more confusion on the part of your coders.
