Hi

Muse sounds good – now just got to lobby my school for a full Adobe CC licence.

For those working with weebly, on my webpage, I’ve created some notes last year when teaching key elements to my class – including some screencaptures, videos and slides:

The information on the site will be reviewed over the holidays so any feedback on areas not covered well, or things that you’d like to know how to do would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Lucas

Hello -

my girls are using Adobe-Muse.
Last year Dreamweaver and Wix was their main choice, but they like Muse and its ability to meet VCAA function list.
Clean and easy.

Hi James and co

I know that Weebly meets all of the criteria for the website development tool:


•           import/enter, edit and format content

•           structure screen layout

•           create links

•           provide navigation

•           create buttons

•           create tags (alt tags)

•           incorporate images (still and moving), text and sound.

Can you confirm how Google Sites meets the same?  Is there a decent ability to structure screen layout? Or create Alt tags?

Weebly allows for quite detailed customisation particularly with relation to colours and fonts used for various text styling that I have not currently seen in Sites.

From last years’ experience, my students were frustrated at times with Weebly (particularly with the navigation being above the header – even though it is probably now the default standard for most modern sites) and wanted to be able to customise the site more, but the other alternatives outside of full HTML/CSS using Dreamweaver/Notepad have been underwhelming in their control or limits on different font styles, colours or site structure customisation (“I want to put my image here, right next to my text but below my divider”, etc)

Other options I looked at did include offering such as Adobe Spark Page.

I personally find Weebly easier to use than Wix (seems to play more nicely with firewalls and proxies), however Google Sites is also just as easy to use and plays just as nicely. ☺

If your school has a GAFE instance, I’d personally go with the Google Sites option and then embed something like Chart.js into it ☺

I primarily use Weebly (it has an education version https://education.weebly.com/) but I put together a resource package for those students wishing to challenge themselves with html/css. It is an extension/challenge.

Good evening
I’ve got students that want to use Google Sites and when we met in Melbourne some teachers seem to be using WIX.
Anyone used either last year, +/-‘s advice.
Thanks in advance
