Hi,
I’m new to Freeway, and own a copy of 5.5.
I see that Freeway 6 is just out, and was wondering if Freeway 6 can do Responsive websites?
I need to make a few sites that are responsive and am hoping that Freeway 6 can do it 
Thanks!

Short answer: Yes, and no. Freeway 6 makes is much easier to create a responsive website than Freeway 5.5, but you still need to know you way around flexible inline construction and CSS to make it work.
I’m almost finished with my first full-blown responsive website, and as I said, it’s much easier to do with Freeway 6!

Here is one I’ve been working on - when I have time. Completely Freeway
Pro, or at least will be when finished.

I will probably port to 6 as well.

Any tutorials on how to do this?

Thanks, Rabbit. Thomas Kimmich has some screencasts on inline layouts which
are key to responsive design. http://www.kimmich-dm.de
And there may be others as well. I know several Freewayers have been
working with responsive layouts, i bet if you did a search of the topic on
the list you would find a few juicy conversations.

I just finished with it, here is the link: http://calebgrove.com. It’s not as involved or well done as Ernie’s (I used !important in my CSS), but it only took me 3 days to create, most of which was spent convincing Blogger to be responsive.
As this is my first responsive site, are there any suggestions from the experts here?

Nicely done, Caleb. My only suggestion, is that you consider updating your
punctuation to typographer’s quotes.
Is your goal to become a designer or a developer? Or do you have other
plans for your future?

Caleb,
Have you tried it on an iPad? When I do, and change the orientation, the page breaks. One part is adjusting, other not.

Ernie,
The page links to a very nice design. Is it a template? If so, can you share it?

Wimdg: Just checked it in the iOS simulator. That is downright odd. It must have something to do with how the iPad caches the website while in portrait, then when you rotate it only half of the site moves up a breakpoint. I’m not sure how to get around this.
Ernie: How do I go about using typographers quotes? They do look much better.
As to my goals, I really love being a unicorn. I enjoy the problem-solving that goes into the UI and UX design, but I’ve also recently found that I have a love for code as well. My long-term plan is to get OnRamp to the point where it can hire a team of dedicated web folks (designers and developers) which I could head up. Hence, part of the reason I’m learning code so I can work well with the developers when that time comes.

Caleb, I had it once with my own site too, but managed to fix it. Give me some time, I have to dig deep how I did it

I just spotted that too Caleb

Double open-quote ( “ ) is option-left-bracket ( alt-[ )
Double close-quote ( ” ) is shift-option-left-bracket ( shft-alt-[ )
Single open-quote ( ‘ ) is option-right-bracket ( alt-] )
Single close-quote / apostrophe ( ’ ) is shift-option-right-bracket (
shft-alt-] )
As a former young and ambitious person myself, I’d say that you have plenty
of time to explore and hone your natural skills. Leadership can be a very
tricky business, so if you aspire to that I’d advise caution and patience.
And start reading Sun Tzu until it makes sense.

Caleb, I gave it some thought: I think it’s an issue with the document settings, section iPad/iPhone. Did you adjust some of the parameters there? As I remember my problem was over when I set them back to automatic. Not 100% certain that that was the issue, but it must have something to do with scaling.

Wimdg,
I’d like to release my responsive template at some point, it’s more a
question of can I raise enough donations from doing that to justify the
work I put into it. Not long ago I released a number of popular CSS shadows
and text effects. I know they were popular because I’ve been tracking the
download links. To date there has only been a single contribution of $15 -
barely enough to keep my server running. So I am currently focused on
paying bills instead up completing that project.

Okay, I think the problem with the iPad is fixed. In the document setup, the ViewPort Width should be set to “Device Width” and the ViewPort Height needs to be set to “None”. Thanks for the hint Wimdg!

Hi Caleb,
Nicely done. Watch out for the comments before the doctype as I’ve spent many an hour trying to track down bugs in IE because not knowing that they throw the browser into quirks mode.
As for your encoded ‘snooper code’;

Ernie, I completely understand. I know what it is. Having to pay bills, and at the end, there is barely anything left… It was my question concerning css shadows that brought you to designing all the effects! But it’s frustrating that most people don’t show appreciation and donate…
Caleb, pleased it fixed your site! Felt so stupid I did not remember the solution at first. At the time I spent days trying and posting here, but finally found it myself. Often an easy solution for a very annoying problem! When your proud of your work, you don’t want this to happen!

I’d be willing to purchase a copy of your template Ernie, if nothing more than to see how it was constructed. Nice design by the way.
