I’m conducting a report on 2 possible computer systems that are compatible with 2 web design software programs.
For instance, Windows and Mac (systems) are compatible and are suitable for Adobe DreamWeaver(program).
Are there any better suggestions or another possible one, please?
The report is considering suitable hardware platforms and software applications to produce more complex websites to meet business demands.
Thank you for your time.

Microsoft’s Frontpage.
Adobe
Microsoft Frontpage is my choice as well.
This is a good article to read:
You don’t really need any particular system to do web development. Any plain text editor is sufficient. If you want to use DreamWeaver, it is available on Mac and Windows, and does not require any major system resources.
I strongly disagree with the comments supporting Frontpage. This environment is not at all suitable for complex business applications, and it is no longer supported by Microsoft.
For more complex business applications, you’ll need several things – all of which are available for free on most platforms:
An editor. A plain text editor is a good starting place, but a dedicated programmer’s editor like Aptana is much better. It provides support for all the major HTML, CSS, and JavaScript codes, and can help you with your syntax and structure. Free at
Several browsers. You need access to many browsers to see how your page look in each one. For development, the browser of choice is Firefox, because of its standards-compliance, reliability, and extension support.
Browser extensions. Your life will be a lot easier if you install several extensions to firefox: HTML Validator is like a spell-checker for your code, Web Developer toolbar has dozens of great features for web developers, and Firebug is an incredible page debugging tool.
A development server. High end business sites will require databases and programming. You’ll want to set up a local system for testing. XAMPP contains everything you’ll need.
A web server. Apache is a popular and powerful free web server. It’s used on many commercial environments.
A server-side programming language. PHP is the most popular free language, but Java and ASP.NET are other good alternatives. The programming language will allow you to add interactivity to your sites.
A database system. Most complex problems involve data. You’ll need some kind of database storage mechanism for this. MySQL is a popular free choice.
All these tools are included for free on the CD-ROM for my book.
Please check my site if you have any other questions…
There are only two things I can add to what two pi said:
Not only is Front Page not supported by Microsoft, the garbage it puts out isn’t supported by any web servers but Microsoft’s IIS. No one should even still have FP installed on their computer.
and
Javascript is client-side – you can’t use it in place of a server-side language like php. Each has a different use.
