10.8 Mountain Lion is avaiable for 19.99. 10.9 is no longer available from the AppStore. You will be able to upgrade your iLife apps free from the AppStore.

iLife 11's iWeb works for me using El Capitan. The version number is 3.0.4
Eric I prefer Mountain Lion over El Capitan. I just do not want to lose use of my website
Eric, I would like to get Mountain Lion on a disc (instead of a download). My thought is to get apple genius assistance downloading it and making sure I can still use I web (as mentioned in your last reply. does that make sense? is mountain Lion available on a DVD?
thanks
John
You are welcome. Mountain Lion is a download only. If you don't feel comfortable testing it by yourself, getting Apple's help make sense.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Or you can load it on an external drive and boot from that drive. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
Applications Compatibility (2)
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive (step 1), then the Partition tab (step 2), and select the partition. Using the /// at the bottom move it up (step 3) until the size box decrease by about 50 GB. Select the newly created space and hit the + button (step 4). Name it something and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format (step 5). Then hit the Apply button(step 6). Download the installer from the App Store and when it starts, point it at the new partition. You might want to make a copy of the installer outside the Applications folder to avoid having to re-download it in the future. Once installed, go to System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new partition and reboot. Test away.
