Hi! My web guy is suggesting I get Dreamweaver to do small edits to my website and Publisher to do edits on my newsletter. Will those programs run on my Mac? Do I need to get Mac versions? Are there others that will run better (and do the same thing)?

Thanks!

Dreamweaver certainly has a version for Mac, and if you're on a Mac pro you could run the Windows version anyway.

Under most circumstances it just uses a pretty standard FTP connection to transfer to and from your website.

I use it on both platforms, it handles my modest needs well - basic websites, a little php.

If you're just doing small edits I believe you can use Macromedia Contribute, or Adobe Contribute? hmm.. anyways if someone knows for sure please speak up :)

As for publisher you could get apple iWork for all of that.

Thanks! Can I use iWork to do simple updates (text and image changes) on a file he has already made with Publisher?

If you know HTML, I'd suggest Coda instead. It's much less of an in-your-face
3 ton gorilla. However if you program visually, go with dreamweaver.
