Changing from Windows Vista to Mac

soozern — Mon, 23 May 2011 17:13:12 GMT

I set up a website using Windows Vista. Can anyone please tell me what will happen to it if I change my computer to a Mac? It doesn't take much to confuse me and I don't want to wreck something I am quite happy with!

Thanks to anyone who can send me a 'simply worded' reply!

The only issues you may see is if the website editing tool you use is browser based. Often times browser based site builders, like the easy site wizard, are effected by the browser being used as you build. Otherwise though you should not see your operating system effect your website in any way.

I used the Easy Site Wizard to set the site up. Over the next couple of months it is crucial for me that it continues to work reliably, so can I ask if anyone has done this and had any problems? I suppose what I want someone to tell me is should I stick with a 'normal' computer or move over to a Mac?

As ESW is browser based it doesn't matter what you use PC or MAC. The most important thing is the browser you use. It is always recomended that to get the best out of the functions of ESW that you use Firefox as your browser.
