Can I Use a Mac to Create a Website?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Creating a website using a Mac is entirely feasible, as confirmed by users who successfully established their sites on macOS. Issues may arise due to specific browser compatibility or settings, particularly with Internet Explorer and Safari on older versions of macOS like 9.2. If a site is set up on a PC, it remains accessible from a Mac. For troubleshooting, contacting customer support is recommended for personalized assistance.

  • Basic understanding of macOS operating systems
  • Familiarity with web browsers, specifically Safari and Internet Explorer
  • Knowledge of website hosting and setup processes

  • Learn about browser compatibility issues and how to troubleshoot them

:confused:
Has anyone had any luck establishing a site using a Mac computer? Each time I click on the tutorial, I get an error message, and can't view the page. I can view my director's site on my Mac, and have tried to get the start page on a PC and it loaded correctly. I've never encountered a site that I couldn't view just because I was using a mac. I've tried IE and Safari, OSX and 9.2. If I do use a PC to get it established, will I then be able to have access to it on my Mac? Still a super starter and know just enough to be dangerous! (
although I thought I was computer literate!)

Let me know if any Apple eaters can help me out here!

If you end up setting it up using a PC you should still be able to access it on the mac. You should contact customer support by phone to ask for help on setting it up.
 
I only have a Mac and was able to establish my website.
