My question is if I have old website created on Dreamweaver or other software. How can I import it in order to start working and upgrading it with Freeway 5 pro? Thanks, Vlad

I tried this also as I started with FW. Believe me, it’s easier to create anything from scratch, especially if you want to import sites that are using old table-based layouts.

Hi Vlad,

I recommend that you don’t try importing the site. As has already
been mentioned, although not in these exact words, Freeway isn’t good
at reverse-engineering web page HTML structure into its own
high-level page layout model. Also, you’ll generally find it better
to work with your own fresh-made elements - HTML boxes and so on -
instead.

You could use a screengrab of certain key pages as a tracing image.
But do try setting up a master page with core layout elements, grids
and so on, then producing pages from that and customising them as
appropriate. Once you get the feel for it you’ll be pleasantly
surprised at how smooth and quick that process can be.

Hi,

I keep getting this message [see below] when I use the e-button browser linked to mals e-commerce. I’ve tried every combo of web address I can think of but nothing works. Do you know which web address should go in the admin section on mals do it will work. cheers

Hi Pete

Came across your problem tacked onto the end of the above thread.

A previous solution in these forums was getting the ISP to allow Mals server to connect (it was being firewalled out).

This is the avenue I am pursuing now - as I am having the same issue.
