Adding Shortcuts to any of your favourite websites on Mac is easy. You can either place the shortcut on the desktop or add it to the Dock for more easy access.
Add Shortcut to Any Website on Mac
A good way to make your favourite website readily accessible on your Mac is to add a shortcut to the website on the Dock of your Mac.
