Existing users, 
I just got the new version of Freeway Express (5.0.2). Unfortunately, the software will not import and edit existing HTML pages, making it virtually useless for most users seeking to modify websites that they have already created. Imagine wanting to change a word or tweak a graphic of an existing site -- only to find that you have to recreate the ENTIRE site keystroke-by-keystroke in Freeway before you can even THINK about editing. How useless is that?
If you are newbie creating your first website then you might consider this product. But, if you are like most people today -- with some experience in HTML coding and with pre-existing coded pages, then you had better look elsewhere.

Freeway does not edit existing pages - SenorRamos
If you are not a newbie, you can access the html code directly through notepad or textedit for existing sites.Sunday, May 11 2008 @ 09:23 PM PDT

I have to disagree with you on a number of levels. As a former programmer, I did my own coding and it was never the same as my fellow programmers. Some were cleaner and some not as clean as mine. The point being, if I had to edit the another persons code and I was not familiar with their method of annotation within the HTML code, I could spend hours if not days deciphering the methodology they used to get the output they produced using HTML.There are some very creative programmers as well as a bunch of HTML generators out there that leave a bunch of (pardon the term) "crap" in the code of a web page, let alone a web site. Variants for IE versus the old Netscape standards still exist and many of these are no longer functional in newer web browsers such as FF, Oprah, Camino & Safari.
So in all fairness to any Web Site Builder, you will find that in nearly all cases, the Web Site application will not scan the pre-existing HTML pages for its HTML code to be editable. So unless you are opening up that HTML file in BBEdit, TextMate, NotePad or any other HTML editor/compiler, you will find that in almost all cases, the HTML will need to be deciphered and restructured to work within the methodology of that code generator (Web Site Builder app) that you will be using.
