Both Freeway and Flux need a lot more work...

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

To add to what "ylon" has previously stated - Freeway, IMHO, needs more work. I have tried it. Put out a couple of sites... but the program was painfully slow. Had it's share of bugs and problems.

Flux suffered from similar problems.

Both programs are a start to filling the gap in this market... however - they both require a lot more work... serious work: you're back to Dreamweaver! For someone who just has the odd or occasional website to put up every now and again - both Freeway and Flux are the ideal choice - you won't do it in a hurry - but both interfaces will guide you through (even if they have their faults).

Both Freeway and Flux need a lot more work... - Jason!

I myself have found Freeway 4 and 5 to be "slow" on a G4 processor, but very fast on Intel Macs. However, because my primary computer is a G4, I would appreciate faster performance. Nevertheless, I am a bit biased. I once used Freeway 3, which was (and still is, under Tiger) very fast indeed. But if I were to compare Freeway 3 to Freeway 4/5 on an Intel Mac, the performance difference would not be noticeable. So it's likely you are using a G4 or G5 instead of an Intel Mac to make these claims (as I am).

And if it's any consolation, Freeway 3 running under OS 9 was "wicked fast." But then again, ANYTHING running under good old OS 9 was fast relative to the sluggishness under OS X. Imagine how fast our machines would be if we were still running OS 9!

OS 9: Gosh, I miss those daily multiple freezes and crashes. :-)
