Applying effects to graphic text

When you are formatting text in a graphic item, or GIF text in an HTML item, Freeway lets you apply a range of powerful text effects including a drop shadow, glow, background color, filter effect, outline, and shape effect.

You can combine effects for impressive results, and your text remains editable at every stage so you can make changes to the wording of your site without needing to manually rework the graphics.
