I was looking at wysiwig web designers for the Mac and Adobe and Dreamweaver are just too much for me. Anyone using Freeway?

I have a Mac type collegue who swears by it. It is a more DTP approach where you place things where you want them and then Freeway works out the code to put it there.

Con = saves the site as one huge file of instructions and then creates the pages on the fly when you upload. This means the file can get pretty big of you have a large site, and if that one file is corrupted ...
Pro = easy to use, only uloads changes, etc.

IU'm PC myself so havn't hands on experience but it looks like a good option for the Mac, apart from that One Huge File thing that is a bit of a worry.

Hi Brad:

Have been using Freeway for three years now. It's getting better all the time, and a less steep learning curve than Adobe GoLive and MacroMedia Dreamweaver. I think you'll find the investment worthwhile, if you haven't purchased already. Plus they are getting ready to release some new add-ons.
