Could anyone help me? I know how to do this on a PC, but I am new to the World of Apple. Can I create a shortcut on my desktop to a particular website (for example, WestJet)? Better yet, could a put the icon I create on the dock? Thanks!

In Safari, go to the website that you would like to create the shortcut for (in your example, WestJet). In the address bar, click and hold down the WestJet logo to the left of the web address and then drag the icon to the right side of your dock. If you've done this correctly, it should create an icon that looks like a grey spring with the @ logo on top. This will create a shortcut to the website.
