          <td> <p>Welcome to Freeway, we think you are going to love it.</p>
            <p> Freeway is great for selling products but you can also sell using 
              a very wide array of services just like we do in general business 
              every day. Services make up between 85% and 90% of Australia's and 
              many other's economies. So it makes sence to be able to sell services 
              online in an Open Source eCommerce platform. From appointments and 
              time based bookings to event ticketing and subscriptions, Freeway 
              offers selling methods only previously available in enterprise class 
              or niche bespoke systems. Here are some examples to of just some 
              of the interesting things you can do in Freeway.</p>
