[Pro] Responsive using Freeway

Can anyone who has created a Responsive Website just by using 100% Freeway 7 (Not Backdraft or templates) please send me a link and maybe some feedback on how you got on ?
Just interested. Thanks Steve

How is anyone supposed to send you a link? They may not wish to post a URL publicly.

I currently happen to be working on 3 responsive Freeway7 website projects and 1 eMailing.

It’s not even that hard when you get to know working with an inline construction. This should get you going

I’d like to point out here that inline construction is NOT an absolute requirement for creating responsive sites. It is definitely important if you’re feeding in content from CMS sources, but for predefined content it’s not the only way.

http://panoramaphotographer.com/ is one basic example. It’s also something that would be, well, let’s just say “challenging”, to recreate using inline methods in Freeway.

BTW, if anyone wants to see the basics of how the Panorama Photographer home page was made, I’ve put a cut-down version of the Freeway site document here:

http://panoramaphotographer.com/freeway/

This uses a flexible-width page and stretchy objects in a normal (not inline) Freeway layout, and it has tweaks for object sizes and positions at different breakpoints. The zip archive includes a couple of custom fonts; remember to install or activate those before you open Freeway.

Your site keeps crashing the Safari tab (a problem occoured when loading this page so it was re-loaded - over and over) on this iPad 4. Might be a memory issue perhaps?

Well then don’t post a link :slight_smile: I am not demanding links in the open… It was just a friendly question

I was simply suggesting that you provide a means for someone to contact you other than post publicly here.

You have no email address on your People page at FWT

Hello Keith, Many thanks for this. As someone who is getting to grips with responsive site construction then this is reassuring to know. So thanks for the clarity.

I’m studying the contraction of the file you have setup which again is very useful.

Thanks again.

Almost certainly. Which iPad are you using, and what version of iOS?
Does it help if you terminate and restart the browser?

I do need to look at this; having four fairly hefty panoramas in the one page (one of those doubled-up for VR headsets) is a bit of a strain. But for the record (for those reading) this is nothing to do with how the page is built. :slight_smile:

No issues viewing on my Air2 - latest iOS

Latest iOS on an iPad 4. Restarting the browser make no difference. Maybe it’s showing it’s age.

I doubt it’s age, just RAM. If the whole page won’t fit into RAM at once, the browser will probably have a litter of kittens.

Aww, kittens! Who could not like those? Unless it’s all about browser crashing.

I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime I hope you enjoy it on your desktop browsers. :slight_smile:

Age = ram

Maybe there’s too many vr’s on that page to cope with.

Hm - I’m neither sure what the OP is after, nor do I understand the ongoing discussion about the page-example. Responsive design doesn’t depend on the app/software you use - it’s a question of attitude, planning and construction (no matter which design you’re after).

I started Responsive Design in mid 2012 using Freeway 5.5 and this is the very first (naive) example I did:

http://www.kimmich-dm.de/templates/liquid/index.html

To me, Responsive Design is “Evolution” - using the given tool (@media query) to change some small properties. This is just because I’m consequently develop the given things further.

Involved in ten billion discussions since three years now, I’m pretty convinced, that this audience understands responsive design as “Revolution”. This mainly happens by ignoring the signs of the time - over years.

Position: absolute - or drop and drag is obviously the preferred way to go, however stops the evolution all of a sudden. So threads like these will attend us to the end of time.

In mid 2015, I’d like to start discussions which are bringing us further. Such as:

  1. How to manage styles better in order to get cleaner code.

  2. Flexbox - Just another property or big chance solving problems never had been solved before?

  3. What about responsive resources (conditional loading) and JS in an adaptive world?

Big question:

Does it make sense to discuss those right now or should I wait another three years till mid 2018?

Cheers

Well Thomas,
I think there’s room for both: questions like the general responsive ones (like this thread) and questions like the ones you prefer to talk about.

So I would say: start a discussion! I would participate in all three discussions you mention. Especially the one with the responsive resources has my interest.

This is my first attempt at a responsive site.
http://www.unitywoodstock.org http://www.unitywoodstock.org/
I used Backdraft and it helped me construct the site as well as the learning curve; also provided excellent support. Other leaning assists were the Softpress responsive templates and Tom Kimmich’s website, not to mention this listserve. I am grateful for all of them.

Thomas, what purpose would be served by waiting?

You’ve been around FWT long enough to know that when it comes to technical discussions it often requires considerable poking and prodding by the minority before the majority takes a proactive interest. That’s assuming they do at all.

By all means open a dialog! But don’t be surprised if the people that participate are the same 6-10 people that always participate in this type of discussion. As a community it’s a tough group to engage or motivate on a technical level. Effecting change around here can be a slow tedious process.
