Grammar
can or will
1. In the evening or in the morning, he can be found in his garden watering the plants.
My interpretation of can here is if you attempt to find him during the times, you CAN or should be ABLE to find him there.
2. My website is finally ready. You can find it on the internet by searching for freeonlinestoragebypro.
My question is, should I use can or will in #2?
What is more confusing is the following:
Now I think I know what your problem is. Go to our website and you [will or can] see a yellow box and click on it.
Help. Are both choices possible? Which is more natural?
Thanks

Follow the curve and you can/will see my white apartment building on your left.
Follow the curve and you will see my white - if the instruction is followed. Also, WILL see is more definite here - YOU WILL SEE IT, and, as I presume that
