The latest News and Tips from Softpress Towers
We’re changing the way we can be contacted
Posted on January 9, 2013 by
As of this year (2013) we’ll be discontinuing telephone support. US based telephone customer support was made unavailable at the beginning of the year, and UK based telephone support will no longer be available from February.
We’ll continue to provide first-class email support in both British and American time-zones – spanning 16 hours a day – and strive to answer all questions within one business day (though we often get an answer out within a couple of hours). You can also ask us questions on FreewayTalk, our Facebook pages (Softpress, Freeway or Exhibeo), or on Twitter.
AACTT, the company that provided our US telephone support, will continue to offer Freeway training in Chicago, IL.
The Softpress Holiday Sale is here!
Posted on November 21, 2012 by
Thats right. It’s that time of year again. It sure does come round fast doesn’t it?
A lot’s happened this year. We’ve seen various minor updates to the Freeway line, a few members of the Softpress team moved on, another came onboard, and, of course, we released Exhibeo. And now it’s holiday time, a time for celebrations and, possibly more importantly, bargains!
This year we’re doing a special on Exhibeo and Freeway Express, both of which we’re selling at half price. If you buy both together then you’ll get a price better than half off!
Happy Holidays!
Meet Exhibeo!
Posted on October 23, 2012 by
We’re super excited to introduce the latest member of the Softpress family. Released just last week, Exhibeo is a brand new application for creating awesome HTML5 galleries and slideshows for your websites. Not just Freeway websites, but any website!
This small, but immensely useful, tool allows you to add your images and select from several fully-customizable gallery or slideshow themes to perfectly match your site needs. You can even crop and scale images directly in Exhibeo without having to constantly switch between applications.
Then, all you need to do is copy and paste the code into your project! Or if you’re lucky enough to be using Freeway, select your output file using the supplied Action and have that do the work for you.
Let’s have a look at some of the features.
Freeway is 565. Oh wait, that should be 5.6.5…
Posted on August 29, 2012 by
We’ve just pushed out a new update of Freeway. For the moment, it’s only available to direct customers. We hadn’t anticipated such long wait in the App Store so I’m afraid you folks are going to have to wait a little longer for it. We’ll update this post to let you know when it’s ready.
This update is small but very significant. We are now happy to officially declare Freeway Mountain Lion compatible. In reality Freeway was running fine on Mountain Lion with the exception of one small cosmetic issue, which has now been addressed.
Freeway was also suffering from a saving problem that was hard to track down until now. The problem would cause Freeway to display a permissions error message while saving. Documents were actually being saved but would end up in a very odd state that would require a reboot or, at the very least, some fiddling in the Terminal to fix… Not fun. That has also been addressed.
Special thanks to Martin, a user whos diligence and patience helped us track down that particular problem.
The full details of this release can be found in the release notes.
Enjoy!
♔ Jubilee celebration weekend ♔
Posted on June 1, 2012 by
We’re celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this weekend with our biggest sale ever. We’ve discounted both Express and Pro by 60% to mark 60 years of the Queen’s reign – oh, and the fact that we in the UK get an extended public holiday!
To take advantage of the offer, head over to the Express or Pro pages of our site and hit the Buy button. A coupon code will automatically be added to the shopping cart. If it doesn’t for any reason, enter the code JUBILEE at the check-out.
Alternatively, we’ve also reduced the price of Express and Pro on the App Store.
In addition, we’re also going to be holding some giveaways on Facebook and Twitter, so come along and join us on there for the chance to win.
Enjoy the celebrations!
Note: The sale will run until Wednesday, June 6. The discount is only valid on full price purchases, in some cases this will be cheaper than the original upgrade discount.
Get six months FREE web hosting
Posted on May 14, 2012 by
Yes, you read that right. We’ve teamed up with MacHighway – the awesome web host for Mac users, by Mac users – to offer Freeway users six months free web hosting.
MobileMe is going to be taken offline at the end of June (RIP). To commemorate this occasion, we’ve partnered with MacHighway to offer Freeway 5.5 users free hosting for six months. If you don’t own Freeway 5.5 (which is a paid-for upgrade from Freeway 5), head over to the Express or Pro pages and buy it now.
Once you’ve joined the Freeway family, taking advantage of the offer is simple:
- Open your copy of Freeway Express or Freeway Pro.
- Click the link to MacHighway’s website in the bottom right of the Welcome Screen and make a note of the Promotion Code. You can open your Welcome Screen from Freeway’s Help menu if it doesn’t open automatically. The offer will not be available unless you click on the link on Freeway’s Welcome screen.
- Select the hosting package you need. Make sure you select a hosting package on the first page you land on. If you select it from a different page, the offer will not work.
- Enter the Promotion Code when prompted.
- Sit back and enjoy six months free hosting!
Note: This promotion is available on new hosting packages only, is limited to one per customer, and can be canceled after six months by contacting MacHighway. It’s only available if Freeway is running in English. If you would like to take advantage of the offer, you’ll need to run Freeway in English.

Is that a shiny new blog on the Softpress website? Why, yes, fine member of the general public, it is.
After years of thinking we didn’t need one, we’ve finally come round to the idea that a blog is a great place for the odd bit of news. We’ll be using this space for making announcements, telling you about offers, and any other information we think might be useful.
So, without wasting any more time, welcome to the Softpress blog!
