Glancing at their website, which they claim was written using Freeway
Pro, I see layout tables.

I'm not impressed.

Hi Josh,

I took a very comprehensive course in web design a few years ago. Our HTML
instructor related a story I've never forgotten:

He (Tom) had been job hunting and was granted an impromptu interview with a
company whose web site had been giving them problems since it's inception a
few months before. No one on their staff had been able to determine where
the problem lay and they had been considering starting from scratch.

Tom took out his laptop and copied the HTML of one of the problem pages into
Notepad. It was immediately apparent to him what the difficulty was and, in
less than a minute, the correction was made and the page displayed as
intended.

They hired him on the spot!

The moral of his story: Use a text editor for your [X]HTML markup and CSS.
You can't fix what you don't know.

[css-d] Freeway Pro by Softpress

2008-10-20 Thread Josh Orlean
I'm taking a course in XHTML and CSS. A friend who wants to avoid learning
these programs told me about Freeway Pro. She seems to think that it is a
viable replacement for learning the programs. If anyone has experience with
Freeway Pro or knows anything about it, I would be interested in getting
your opinion.

Thanks,
Josh
