I have a friend with a travel-related business (sort of a B&B) who wants a simple, but professional-looking website- lots of photos and text, but nothing terribly fancy in the way of special effects or links.

She's not very techno-savvy (about like me) and may actually hire someone to create the website, but she will have to be able to update it periodically herself.

Currently she has a PC with Windows XP, but she's considering buying a Mac, because she's been convinced that Mac software is better suited for website design and maintenance.

She's never used a Mac.

Do you think she's been advised correctly? Is the software included in the standard Mac package so superior that it's worth the money, especially considering the learning curve in switching from Windows?

If not, what software for her PC should she be looking at?
