Is there a way for my friend to view the website I’m working on for her if she doesn’t have Freeway Pro? It’s not finished, so it’s not uploaded to her Web Hosting service, but I want her to check it before I upload it. thanks!

It’s customary to have a “developer site” on your own domain where you  
can host work in progress for customers to see. The way that Freeway  
makes sites (with all relative links) lends itself particularly well  
to doing this the “easy way”, because you can simply publish the  
entire site into a sub-folder on your site: [http://example.com/yourclient/](http://example.com/yourclient/)  
and your customer can view the entire site there with all links  
working.

Another way to do this is to create a subdomain for your client (using  
your hosting provider’s control panel), but that’s a bit more work.

Once you’ve agreed to the final design, then you can publish the site  
to your customer’s hosting.

You can also send her your entire Site Folder (zipped if by email) - with the limitations that any PHP and server side stuff wont work.
