It’s been a while since I’ve used Freeway from Softpress, but I have always considered it to be a quality web design program. Upon loading and using Freeway 5 Express, I’m pleased to report that that’s still the case. While I don’t recall every specific feature in the last Freeway I used (v.3, I think?)…
