Just thought I’d post a wee message on here to let you all know that we’re in the middle of setting up a new online Freeway template store!!
We’re very excited and can’t wait till we open our doors!
We don’t profess to being Freeway experts but do hope we can build good looking templates that folks want and can use…
The idea is that we’ll start with a template freebie and see how it goes down before we actually start selling.
You can sign up for our email newsletter on our website http://www.freewayfactory.com and this way we’ll let you know when the factory is to open it’s doors.
We’re very excited and can’t wait till we open our doors!
Hi freeway factory,
Sorry to be cynical but who exactly are you ? I’m certainly not averse to people making money but there are already people and Freeway itself offering excellent templates, who also contribute freely to freewaytalk, so we’re sure of provenance so to speak.
If I sign up how do I know my email won’t be passed on ? and having your front door made with wordpress doesn’t inspire a dedication to freeway.
Hope I’m not putting a damper on your enterprise but some clarity would help before I possibly sign up to your new venture.

I understand your worry - and perhaps it would have been better had I posted this under my normal account…
All I can give is my word that any email addresses won’t be passed on. If you’d rather not sign up then don’t worry about it - I’ll do my best to keep all channels updated, including here and Twitter (@FreewayFactory).
I’ll admit that a few years back I was also attempting to set up shop for freeway templates but it just didn’t work out in that it was too much work to get it off the ground.
In response to the wordpress thing, I agree. I make websites on Freeway and Wordpress as part of my business. The reason I decided to go down the wordpress route is because it’s far simpler to quickly set up an eccomerce site for download products on Wordpress. I’m not saying that Freeway isn’t relatively simple, but wordpress gives me more flexibility on a number of levels… and I’m no eccomerce expert so every little helps.
I hope this clarifies a few of your queries.
Thanks for posting what others are probably thinking!
Fergus
Good luck Fergus, Your explanation was well put and reasonable, I will be looking towards the launch!
