<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class=MsoNormal>Weebly is probably the easiest
thing around if students were creating, say, an online help site. ie if the
focus was the content and not the creation. If you were looking to focus
on actual web design then I use Kompozer, it's FOSS, super easy to use
and deceptively powerful with just a little css/html/javascript knowledge. It
also contains none of the ExpressionWeb/Dreamweaver extras that I never use
anyway<o:p></o:p></P><PRE>Regards,<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE>Brett Groves<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE>ICT Manager<o:p></o:p></PRE><PRE>Croydon Secondary College<o:p></o:p></PRE>
