	Games - Freeway

Freeway (originally Uniquorn) is a WYSIWYG web design application for Mac OS X (older versions also run under Mac OS 9), developed by the English company Softpress Systems. There are two flavours of Freeway; Pro and Express, both currently at version 4. Freeway Express has less features and is aimed more at the amateur web designer.

Freeway is based on a pre-Mac OS X print publishing application called Uniquorn, also developed by Softpress, but discontinued when Apple stopped supporting Quickdraw GX in Mac OS 8.

The philosophy behind Freeway is that an average user is able to design websites without having to deal with any code, using an interface very similar to that of Desktop publishing applications like QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign. Advanced procedures (like connecting to a MySQL database using a scripting language like PHP) is done through plug-ins called "actions". Several "actions" can be downloaded for free on several websites, but there are also commercial "actions", like the "Graphics FASTpack", which delivers advanced image editing functionalities for Freeway.

Like most other WYSIWYG web design applications Freeway does not produce syntactically valid HTML code, making it unusable in situations where valid HTML code is obligatory. For example, valid code is required by law on the majority of federal and state institutions' web sites in Germany.
