One thing should be clarified: did Diana ask about web SERVING or web DESIGN
software? I strongly suspect that the latter. If so, choices are plentiful,
regardless of the platform. I use Claris Homepage for Mac, and occasionally
Dreamweaver for Mac (there is also a PC version). Adobe GoLive is quite
good, too. There may be some freeware HTML design programs but I know little
of them.
By the way, when it comes to serving on the Mac, NetPresenz is a fast HTML
and FTP shareware server (practically freeware, only $10), which has worked
nicely for me.

Regards,
Piotr
