>From what I have seen, they entirely meet all of the Key Skills.

There is no mention of CSS or even html in the study design in any of the Units.  The closest is:

*        functions of web authoring software used to manipulate data
and

*         functions, techniques and procedures for efficiently and effectively manipulating data using web authoring or multimedia authoring software.

The only mention of style sheets in the entire IT study design document refers to the problem solving methodology.

Can you let me know if I've missed something please.

Cheers,

Adric

Hi Adric,

My question on using these tools would be, do they meet the Key Skills requirements for students? Such as CSS.

Cheers

Yes, thanks for that Brett.

I've looked at Kompozer (and seamonkey, coffeecup and some others)

I would strongly recommend people take a look at Web Plus (by Serif) from a design perspective
(There is a free starter version available).

However, I come back to my main question.  Would a web based tool such as Weebly or Yola be considered a Web Authoring Tool for the sake of the study design?

Cheers,

Adric

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

Hi Guys,

I'm considering a move away from Dreamweaver next year as I believe it is overly complicated for what they need to achieve.

I'm considering a move to something like www.yola.com<http://www.yola.com> which is an online drag and drop website creation tool.

What I wanted to know is whether other people see this as a 'Web Authoring Tool' for study design purposes like I do.
